"The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended."

The Elijah message is “Christ our righteousness.” A lethargic lukewarm church is awakened by the message which honors and uplifts the cross, revealing God’s love for sinners. A corporate body of the remnant receives the heart-humbling truth in repentance for their long-neglect of a “most precious message.” The latter rain Spirit accompanies the message to the Laodicean Church. It swells to a “loud cry.” “The earth is lightened with His glory” (Rev. 18:1). Many heed the warning to “Come out of her [Babylon] my people.”

Redemption means to buy back. Buy back what? That which was lost, because the Lord came to save what was lost. What was lost? Mankind, the human race: “You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed without money” (Isa. 52:3).
