What does the cross mean to you? Is just some bling bling you wear around your neck? Is some thing spiritual to you? or just cool symbol?

Hi ray,

well, it certainly does not mean such a lightness as that!

The cross is a symbol of the True Cross upon which Jesus suffered willingly to pay for my sins and to reconcile me to the Father. To me the cross is holy symbol of what Jesus has done for us. I am forever at the feet of the cross of Christ!

Forever belonging to Christ and forever loving Him.

what does the cross mean to you ray?

I pray that this Easter many will remember the cross of the Risen Christ!

I avoid to use the cross. Because I want people to know who I am by the the way I treat them. Not by the things I care with me. It is like exercising my spiritual witness. If I need a cross hanging on me for people to know that I am a fallower of Christ than my witness is weak. I want to be able to say like Paul did in one of his letters.

Galatas 6:17

From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus

I also definetly gave the wearing of the cross up when in a hotel room by acident I stamble in a porn movie on tv and all I remember of this terrible few seconds was that the women that performing had a cross necless on her. This really made me think. How people disoner the meaning of the cross.

Love Suzana :huh:

1 Cor 1:18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

To me, it is the power of God. Not the piece of wood but that Jesus shed his blood for us.

The cross is a part of the tree that has been there since the beginning... it was made into a cross and carried by my Savior... it then had to be carried by another man becuaes my Savior could not.. my Savior was nailed upon that cruel tree after being mocked and beaten... my Saviod cried to my Father, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" and "Father forgive them for they know not what they do"... my Lord was peirced in the side after he died on that cross of suffication and a broken heart... it was on that cross that my Saviors blood was shed... His blood cleansed me from my unrighteousness..

When I called upon him.. he saved me from my sin and from teh depths of Hell... he paid a price I could never pay... My Savior died for me on that old rugged cross... It is spiritual.. it is a symbol.. it is real...

When God brought me to my knees, it was because Christ paid the perfect sacrifice.. that I am free...

The cross is where I come humbly before Jesus because I know I don't deserve his forgiveness. However, I'm blessed that I can come and ask for repentance and forgiveness and that is blood can wash away my impurities and make clean as freshly fallen snow.

The cross is what connects us to God .

Jesus said, To be my disciple you must pick up your cross everyday.

This is what the cross means to me.

The cross to me, is a symbol. A symbol of many things:

God's love

God's Holiness

God's forgiveness

Jesus blood

Suffering

Humility

Denying yourself

Persecution

God's power.

or, in totality:

Being a true Christian: believing and seeing God's love, and His Holiness and justice; accepting His forgiveness, made possible by Jesus' humility, being willing to sacrifice His body upon the Cross- suffering and shedding his blood; and as Christians, we are to deny ourselves, take up our crosses of suffering and persecution, and follow Him- the God who became man, who gave his life, in brutal agony, so that we, His sinful creations, may have Life forever in Him. It also reminds me of God's power, as Christ did not stay upon the Cross, or in the grave..... but rose again, victorious over death!!!

The cross is a reminder of all of this. I don't generally wear it, (basically because I haven't seen one that I liked- most look too gaudy and frilly- which is NOT what the cross was...) but I don't have a problem with doing so.

Thanks for this occasion to remember all that Christ has done for us... and I pray that we will continue to do so throughout the year, and not just the week of Easter.

To me, Derek Prince described it best.

The devine exchange took place at the cross

Jesus died that we might live

Jesus felt rejection that we might be accepted

Jesus was hated that we might be loved

Jesus experienced sickness that we might experience health

Jesus was taken captive that we might have freedom

The list can go on...

One can't throw away the Cross. Whatever we need, we can receive at the Cross.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
