    When I look at the cross I see love. Love that is beyond what words can ever say or describe. Love that is difficult to understand. Why would God do so for me, me, the one who hurts Him everyday and pierces His Heart by my sins. But when I think about it, I realize, He did this because His very essence is love, God is composed of love, when you look inside His heart, you will find He is the greatest love, that ever was, ever is, and ever will be. If you listen to His heart beating, you will hear it beating with beats of love for the whole world.

    The cross brings tears to my eyes, just thinking of how much God did for us, how much He loves us, but we dont even deserve His love. God who is the King of kings and Lord of Lords, died for my sake, I, who is nothing but dust.

    The Holy Cross, like PrincessMary said, means the strongest and most merciful kind of love beyond anyone's imagination, it reached to the point where Christ carried all of our sins on it. It reached to the point where he was whipped and disrespected for us when he was the Holy Son of God, the person who is praised by the Cherubiem and the Seraphim (sry for the spelling) in the highest heavens.

    My Coptic Church

    My Coptic Church The Church of the Lord
    Ancient and Strong I wish her long life
    In early years Light of the true faith
    St. Mark came bearing Proclaming salvation
    In the Name of our Redeemer Christ who removed our sins

    The Copts then believed In the Lord Jesus
    And joy filled all The cities of Egypt
    In a very very short time He abolished the idols
    The cross was exalted The sign of the faith
    Satan quickly rose To war the Son of God
    He stirred the Rulers Emperors and armies

    He then declared war On the sons of the faith
    Deny your Christ Or be thrown in the fire
    Our honored fathers Elders and youngster
    Were not moved by pain Distress nor dishonor
    But said courageously Forward no turning back
    We don't fear fire Our Lord is Jesus Christ

    They were beaten and imprisoned They lived in opression
    There were burned and killed They tasted every pain
    By the power of their faith They overcame their pains
    And remained believing in The King of Peace
    With blood and suffering They bought the faith
    And preserved it for us In the Name of our Savior

    There four stages to obtaining meaning in an individuals life:
    *The young child seeks enthrallment; the desire for the"wow" feeling.
    *The older youth seeks Truth and purpose within life
    *The young adult seeks romance in life
    *The older sdult seeks security

    Through the Cross:

    Christ's very perserverance to travel the pathway of suffering and the very power within His Spirit enthralls the mind. His very defintion of Himself as the only way to life was His absolute Truth. The beneficence and love he demonstrated in His sacrafice provided the greatest romance story in existence. Finally, His very promise for our perpetual abode within His kingdom was the incorruptible security of our existence.

    Nowhere in history has the very facets of meaning so coalessed together in such profound ascetheticism as when one looks upon the humility and glory of the Cross.

    God bless

    I agree with Centupinhereyo in that the cross means salvation and I think that this is the most important part about it. For our salvation shows us how God loves us to the point that He sacrificed His own son Jesus Christ to save our souls. This is so that we may be with God in the Kingdom of Heaven forever and for all eternity and that I believe is the greatest expression of love from God.

    Please pray for me always,
    Believer in God
  • whywhy
