The cross is the universal symbol of Christianity. An odd
choice, don’t you think?
Strange that a tool of torture would come to
embody a movement of hope. It’s design couldn’t be simpler. One beam
horizontal—the other vertical. One reaches out like God’s love.
The
other reaches up, as does God’s holiness.
One represents the width of
His love; the other the height of His holiness.
The cross is the
intersection. The cross is where God forgave His children without
lowering His standards. God treated His Son as a sinner, so that Christ
could make us acceptable to God. Why would He do it?
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world.” Aren’t you glad the
verse doesn’t read: For God so loved the rich?. . .the famous? Or the
sober or successful? No, it simply reads: “For God so loved the world!”
