THE CROSS OF CHRIST

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  (Romans 6:23 NRSV)

Can a holy God overlook our mistakes? Can a kind God punish our mistakes?

From our perspective there are only two equally unappealing solutions. But from God’s perspective there is a third. It’s called “the Cross of Christ.”…

Why is the cross the symbol of our faith? To find the answer look no further than the cross itself. Its design couldn’t be simpler. One beam horizontal -- the other vertical. One reaches out -- like God’s love. The other reaches up -- as does God’s holiness. One represents the width of His love; the other reflects the height of His holiness. The cross is the intersection. The cross is where God forgave His children without lowering His standards.

-- Max Lucado in “He Chose the Nails”
