If we were to show the Cross to some people who do not know what the Cross is about and who was nailed on it, their reactions would be anything but indifference.
And to tell them that this is the sign of our salvation and that Jesus died on the Cross to save us from our sin might even astonish them further.
Generally speaking, non-Christians have some idea that the Cross is the sign for Christianity.
But they may not know it was meant to be an instrument of torture and death.
As for us Christians, we know that Jesus suffered and died on the Cross to save us from our sins and from eternal death.
By the Cross, Jesus redeemed us and we are freed from the clutches of the devil.
And by His Resurrection, the Cross has become a sign of victory over sin and death, a sign of salvation, and a sign of the power of God.
Let us give glory to God for saving us through the power of the Cross of Christ.
Let us embrace our own crosses and follow Jesus.
In the Cross, we unite ourselves with Jesus in His suffering; and it is also in the Cross that we will share with Jesus in His victory.
