The Cross



As Christians the Cross is our iconic "logo". We are recognised by it, and we use the Cross to show our allegiance to Jesus Christ. The cross says it all - it speaks of suffering, grace, healing, forgiveness, victory, peace and love. Just simply by drawing the cross on a piece of paper or even in the sand, we make a statement of faith. In the Cross we have a symbol that speaks with a million voices...
“In the Cross is salvation; in the Cross is life;
in the Cross is protection against our enemies;
in the Cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness;
in the Cross is strength of mind; in the Cross is joy of spirit;
 in the Cross is excellence of virtue; in the Cross is perfection of holiness.
There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross.” ― Thomas à Kempis, The Inner Life
