A Message On The Cross

"Even the death of the cross". As all of you well know the most widely used symbol of christiandom today is the cross. But you know interestingly there is nothing at all in the Bible to suggest that the cross should be regarded as the symbol of Christianity. Where has all this come from? Not the scriptures, not the apostolic era, or the early church, but the emperor Constantine who is supposed to have seen a light in the sky in the sign of a cross. It goes back to this man whose life was rooted in paganism. I want o say to you that it is not the wood that matters, but him who suffered upon the accursed tree to make atonement for sin.
