The One on the cross

It’s not the cross that’s the important thing, it’s the One who died on the cross. After all, there could have been 300 crosses erected there that day of men that were crucified. But it’s the value of the One who died upon that cross for the sins of the world. And to remind us that we “were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from our vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of as a lamb without spot and blemish.” We have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ.
