The Cross

Today's topic is: "the Cross." The Cross is a somewhat shameful topic within the church. The Cross is a symbol of suffering and shame. To a Jewish person living in the time of Christ, it was a curse. The fact remains the Cross is the central fixture of Christianity. Without the Cross, there would be no shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sins. There would be no atoning death. Without the Cross, mankind would have remained lost!
