There is no more popular symbol of the Christian faith than the cross. It is everywhere. We see it on sports figures, rock stars, movie actors and actresses, on the arm, around the neck, dangling from ears. Crosses are sold in bookstores, jewelry stores, flea markets, anywhere there are people. Crosses stand on hills, in yards, and at the bottom of the sea.
Crosses come in gold, silver, wood, stone, and seashells.
Chances are you have a cross on your person or in your house. I have several of them in my office, tiny, large, fat, thin, painted, and pictures of them. The cross as a pendant, on the clasp of a pen, an adornment on a key chain, and in the hundreds of other ways it is paraded is obviously not forgotten. That is to say that those who are genuinely his followers let the cross define who they are, what their values are, and how they are to react to the world in which they live. It is not my role to draft an agenda for the Christian community or to tell you what to do in every circumstance.
