The Cross.....=D

What is it about a cross that makes us think of Christ, and what he did for us. And why is it the most known symbol of a Christian. Why the cross?
Why not the fish with witch he feed 5,000, why not water with witch He cleans us and make us new, why not the wine witch reminds us of His everlasting covenant, why not bread that is broken every week to symbolize the breaking of Christ's body for us. Why The Cross?

1 Corinthians 15:3
"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures."

Because of Christ Greatest deed we are all saved! Christ dying on the cross was His greatest blessing to us, the first importance. That Christ would be beaten, spit on and humiliated for us show's His undying love and grace for what He has created. Do you have this kind of love, undying? As people that is somthing we can only dream of. Having the Father you love with all your heart, soul and mind turn against you.....for us. That kind of love, not one person can earn.

Matthew 27:46: About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lima{TR reads "lama" instead of "lima"} sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Romans 8:3
"For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man."

I Believe this is why we as Christians have the Cross for our symbol, It reminds us of the love Christ showed on the cross. Reminds us of what He went through, pain, humiliation, rejected His love beat all!! forever.....thanks be to God!!!:D

Romans 1:4-5
"And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name."
