There are some things people do not understand about the cross and what it really means in the heavenly spirit realm.[In Christian terms] It is the salvation through Christ’s sacrifice; redemption; atonement; suffering; faith. The cross also signifies acceptance of death or suffering and sacrifice”The cross had deep meaning. They understood Christ’s death on the cross to be “completed” by God’s raising him from the dead three days later. This Resurrection was a sign of Christ’s “victory” over sin and death. The message of the cross is profound and central to Christianity. It communicatesGod’s incredible love for humanity and His plan for redemption. At its core, the message of the cross is that Jesus Christ, God’s own Son, willingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. It is important to realize that Jesus did this for us and he is our lord and savior, he made an important point. He put it in the sixth commandment by saying after this, thou shall not kill or murder. It is a sin to do so for any reason; medical or anything, no killing. This is what he really meant. Recalling the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the redeeming benefits of his Passion and death. The cross is thus a sign both of Christ himself and of the faith of Christians. The faith that christians should have.
closing prayer;
Lord Jesus Christ, through Your suffering the Cross grant me strength to bear my Cross without fear or dread and give me the grace that I may follow You. In the name of our lord and savior we pray.
Prayer for salvation; Lord Jesus; Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior.Take
complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
