The wonderful cross. No emblem is as powerful. A symbol composed of two lines, one vertical and one horizontal. So seemingly simplistic in its design, it represents an intersection that, in truth, is more complex than we could conceive. The wonderful cross, where God and humanity were brought together in Jesus Christ, was the setting where the world was forever changed. The wonderful cross, an instrument of torture, became a place of peace. The wonderful cross, an emblem of death, became the means to eternal life. The wonderful cross, where Jesus willingly laid down His life for you and me, forever showing God’s great love and justice. While appearing to be the place of defeat, the wonderful cross became the symbol of the greatest victory.
