Someone asked, “Instead of the Cross, should our focus rather be on the resurrection of Christ?”

Original question: My pastor in my local church taught us in one of our bible studies to focus not on the cross but on the resurrection of Christ. The reason he gave is that the cross is a picture of suffering and punishment while resurrection is the victory of Jesus over death… I somehow feel wrong about that because I know that when I look to the cross I see the love of God for me, humility of Jesus, and the forgiveness of my sins… I know that looking to the cross and seeing what God did for me is what saved me and made me born again… please can you give your insight over this…
