The Cross…have we become too flippant & frivolous about it? So what exactly does the Cross mean? It’s the revealed truth of God’s judgment on sin and the supreme triumph over death & the grave. There was nothing else as certain in time or eternity than what was accomplished on the Cross…making a way for all mankind to be brought back into a right relationship with God the Father. The Cross wasn’t something that “happened” to Jesus – He came to earth with the expressed purpose of going to that Cross in our place. (Revelation 13:8) It tells us that God became flesh in order to take away our sins, so the Cross is at the very heart of our salvation. Finally, the reason why salvation is obtainable to us is because of the Cross. It may not have cost us anything, but it cost God dearly. (John 3:16)
