Our journey has come to an end.
In conclusion:
Does a wheel work if the hub is moved from the center to the side?
What if it is removed?
How much fun would a teeter-totter be if the fulcrum was moved from the center closer to one of the edges?
What if the fulcrum was removed altogether?
What would happen to our solar system if the sun was moved so that it is no longer in the center while everything else hypothetically remained in the same orbit?
What if our sun was removed completely?
The cross is central.
It is crucial.
It is the crux (crux and crucial are both derivatives from the Latin crux for cross).
If it is not the center our steering is out of alignment and we run into dangerous heresy. If we remove the cross from our theology the wheel does not turn at all, we cease to be Christian. We become lopsided, unbalanced, and no fun when the cross is not central. Our entire worldview as Christians hinges on the cross. If it is moved from its central position things are so radically changed that the solar system of our faith suffers violently and fatally.
I hope you have grasped this vision of the cross as we have journeyed through Galatians. I have enjoyed our trek. I thank God that He has been faithful to give us a glimpse of Christ crucified, risen, and reigning. I pray He continues to open our eyes to behold the wonder of the cross.
No Other Boast

I’m the same way. I type it, then I erase it, type it, erase it, type it again the exact same way and it still doesn’t look right.Sounds awesome.
