Lo Que Paso En La Cruz (feat. Nancy Amancio)
Alex Zurdo
Rediscovering the Power of the Cross
In 'Lo Que Paso En La Cruz,' Alex Zurdo, featuring Nancy Amancio, delves into the core of Christian faith, urging believers to return to the fundamental message of the cross. The song questions the current state of the church, highlighting how the original passion and love for the message of Christ's sacrifice seem to have faded. The lyrics lament the shift towards more palatable, positive messages that avoid the profound and sometimes uncomfortable truths of the crucifixion. This shift, according to Zurdo, dilutes the essence of Christianity, which is rooted in the redemptive power of the cross.
The song critiques the modern tendency to prioritize messages of prosperity and self-benefit over the foundational Christian doctrines of sacrifice, redemption, and forgiveness. Zurdo emphasizes that the cross is not just a symbol but the very reason for the existence of Christians. He argues that without acknowledging the significance of Christ's sacrifice, the church risks becoming superficial, losing its transformative power. The cross, he asserts, is the bridge that connects humanity with God, and it is through this connection that true spiritual transformation occurs.
Zurdo calls for a return to the authentic message of the gospel, urging the church to be more than just a social club that offers feel-good messages. He advocates for a church that blesses and transforms, one that does not shy away from the difficult but necessary truths of the faith. By focusing on the cross, believers can rediscover their passion and love for what happened at Calvary, ensuring that the message of Christ's sacrifice remains at the heart of their faith and practice.
