The Power of the Cross..

There are numerous symbols in the world. Symbols represent from nations, corporations, organizations and families. Each symbols has particular powers. Yet, there is no symbol on earth as powerful as the sign and way of the Cross.

Jesus Christ turned the meaning of the Cross on its head. The Roman Empire used the cross as a sign of torture and punishment. Criminals and enemies of the Roman power were put to death on the cross. The pain and agony is simply too excruciating to put into words. The pain would last for hours and days without end. Jesus gave the cross new meaning and power.

Jesus endured the Roman meaning of the cross to represent the ultimate Power of God.
Christ Jesus made the Cross the road to salvation. He died on the Cross for the sins of the world. He turned the Cross from a symbol of death into eternal life in Heaven.

The Power of the Cross is beyound human understanding and reason. We see the Cross as a symbol of redemption. We thank God and Praise God for all spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus for the life and ways of the Cross. The Power of the Cross means new life and the Joy of The Lord.
