MEANING OF THE CROSS
Freelance writer Lupie Riley
Thought: From the 6th century BC to the 4th century AD the cross was an instrument of execution. It represented death by the most excruciating method possible. The word crucify originated from the word excruciating meaning extreme torture. Our minds cannot process the pain that Jesus suffered while hanging on the cross. He took on sin in all it’s forms and shed his blood so that we may be free from it’s bondage and have eternal life never ending. His life was given so that others may live. “ Behold the lamb of God”. Least we forget he arose from the grave three days later and is very much alive today.
I was fascinated recently by the unusual and miraculous way God has given us the message of the cross as a sign to the world. The cross is found in the laminin, the very thing that holds our bodies together. There’s also a mineral rock with a natural vein in the sign of the cross. Another rock called Staurolite or “fairy cross” is used in jewelry because of it’s perfect shape. Year’s ago I saw a picture of our Savior imbedded in a knothole from a tree. Crosses are seen in clouds and other images that God has given to us that reveals the story of redemption.
Some religious cults today are so offended by the message of the cross their mission is to take it down from churches all over the world including our great country. The cross is a powerful message to mankind of Jesus offer for freedom from sin and everlasting life for all who put their faith in who he is and what he has done for them. (John 3:16)
Prayer: Father God, I wear your cross proudly to allow your light to shine out so that others may come to know you as their Savior. Thank you for your presence in my life as we walk together through this life. Amen
Verse: I Cor. 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God!”.
