What is there about the cross of Christ that give it mush great power and unwanting glory ? From earliest history, the cross has been known as the ‘accursed tree’--- an instrument of torture, a place of punishment for the most hardened and wicked criminals---a mark of deepest shame and disgrace. But since the time of Christ, the cross adorns great cathedrals and beautiful altars. Throughout Christendom , it is the symbol of all that is true and holy, all that is noble and merciful and loving.
The cross symbolizes God’s great love for us .It is not an accident or a tragedy, but the universal sign of God’s love for sinful man. The cross is the only adequate explanation of John 3:16.
