we don’t worship a cross – we worship the Christ of the cross. when we consider the cross of Jesus Christ, we are reminded (if we know and are willing to reflect) of why Jesus came, what he accomplished for us, and of the gift of salvation offered to us free but at great cost to God the Father and God the Son…

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. – Galatians 6:14
