# 1. The Wisdom of a Foolish Cross

> Thus the demand for signs becomes the prototype to every condition human beings raise as a barrier to being open to God. I will devote myself to this God if he heals my child. I will follow this Jesus if God proves himself to me. I am assessing him, he is not assessing me. I am not coming to him on his terms; rather, I am stipulating terms that he must accept if he wants the privilege of my company.
