2 | Does Jesus dispise manmade crosses? | Heb 12:2 | New Creature | 60563 | ||
Today we see people wearing a crucifix or cross around their neck. I heard someone say that it would have been unthinkable in Bibical New Testament times for a believer to desire to wear a cross, which to them would have been considered a symbol of death around their necks as a piece of jewelery. Back in those days the streets were lined with crosses with people hung on them to die terrible grusome deaths. To them it was an ugly symbol of death instituted by the government of those times. That would be the same thing in their minds as us wearing what we call a coffin around our neck. The cross was something grotesque to them. A better symbol for believers would be something that represents an open and empty tomb, which makes the statement: "He is not here, He is risen from the dead" Amen PTL |
