The Cross represents the Place where Death was conquered and Life began.
Death was conquered by Our Lord Jesus as he exhaled His last breath. He
was buried for 3 days and nights in a tomb of a rich man. He was raised by the
Power of the Holy Spirit on the third day. He appeared to more than 500 of his
disciples before He ascended in a glorified body to heaven. He is now
enthroned with His Father pleading for us.
When we look at the cross we are reminded that Jesus died for our sins. He
paid the penalty. If we believe He did the finished work by pouring out His
blood unto death, yet being raised to life and confess with our mouth that
Jesus is Lord we will be saved. The cross is not an image to be worshipped, it
is a reminder to the believer and an offense to the unbeliever until God calls
them to believe.
When we do not realize that the only way to the Father is through Jesus our
Lord, then we make an idol of ourselves through false self preservation. If we
believe we are good enough to get to heaven on our own merit, we will die in
our sin. Only the Son was undeserving of death and by His stripes we are
healed. He was crushed for our iniquitiies and pierced for our transgressions.
