Let me suggest a few things that the cross means if we are going to be people of the cross. First of all, you notice the cross is made up of a vertical bar and a horizontal bar. It reminds us that God, Who is beyond us and within us, deep within us, is met in the middle, is met where we unite with other people. It does matter. Secondly, the cross is an intersection, two paths.
Decisions have to be made.
For 2000 years, the cross has been a sign and symbol of forgiveness. Now, think about it. It s an instrument of capital punishment. That s amazing. What Jesus has done with the cross.
