The cross, though historically a symbol of shame and execution, stands as the cornerstone of Christianity, representing God’s ultimate plan for humanity’s redemption. Jesus revealed himself as a Messiah who had to suffer, die, and rise again – not just as a powerful leader. His death served two crucial purposes: to liberate people from sin’s bondage and to provide forgiveness for humanity’s debt of sin. This profound truth requires more than intellectual acknowledgment; it demands a personal response of repentance, faith, and transformed living.
