Hebrews 12:2-“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
I wear a gold cross around my neck.
Everywhere I go, I see people wearing crosses, too.
Why?
To some it is simply a piece of jewelry, but to Christians, it is symbolic of being a Christ follower.
It does not have magical powers.
“Jesus’s cross” did not have any power either.
The power was (and is) in the person upon the cross.
Jesus Christ, the perfect one, paid the price for the sins of all mankind upon that cross.
That’s why we wear it around our necks—a symbol and remembrance of what He did for us.
His resurrection from the dead is the power we recognize at Easter—and everyday—as we give thanks for His great love and mercy toward us.
Alleluia,! He is Risen!
He is Risen, indeed!
