Hidden Eternal Treasures - September 2008

What is the Significance of the Cross?

September 21st 2008 16:20

The cross is our symbol as Christians. (Please read 1 Corinthians 1)We look at it and it compels something within us; a thought, feeling, or deep desire. Why? Because our Savior, the Son of God, died for our sins as an overpowering act of love. So, what is the significance of the cross?

1. Jesus opened the door which separated man from God. We should have the utmost gratitude for His sacrifice. (Hebrews 9:12 & 9:26, Colossians 1:20-22)
2. Jesus taught about how we should live if we wish to be saved and accept His gift. This means to deny ourselves and pick up our own cross. (Matt 16:21-27)

3. The cross should compel humility and meekness. We can not get to heaven because we deem ourselves to be good enough, we must live the way were commanded. Matt5:3, Luke 16 & 18: 9-14

Round Politics
Hey T.B.T. great post. The Cross means so much to me, it's the symbol of the love of God. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Also it's not only a symbol Love, but it is a symbol hope, freedom, and eternal life. It's the most important symbol of Christianity. To me it's a pardon that save me from a horrible second death.
