I Corinthians 1:18- “The message of the cross is the Power of God.” 
I wear a cross necklace. I rarely take it off. It is a daily reminder to me that Jesus died for my sins.
It is not an amulet. It does not protect me against evil, danger, or disease. It is a symbol of God’s great love for me.
I see crosses on walls in churches and homes. I see them on car windows and tattooed on arms. I see them on rings, bracelets, earrings.
Some are made out of stained glass, some are cast in silver, some made out of barn wood, some even tooled onto leather headbands and wristbands.
I would like to think that the cross is more than a fashion icon, room decor, or body art.
I would like to.
I would also like to think that everyone knows the real meaning of Easter.
I would like to think that everyone has heard the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
I would like to.
But, just in case…
The story is a simple one, really.
A story about how God—because of His great love—left Heaven to be born of a virgin and live among men. How, according to His plan and purpose, He allowed men to take his life.
He became the perfect sacrifice for the sins of mankind. He gave himself—shed His perfect blood—to make it possible for us to live with Him in heaven for all eternity.
It had to be this way. Because there was no other way.
Because perfect love didn’t say, “I won’t.”
Because perfect love said, “I will.”
The cross?
Its message is the Power of God unto salvation for all who will believe.
