Are you wearing a cross today? It’s your symbol of power, hope, and salvation – let it remind you of what God can really do in your life!

Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni, and it always fascinates me that so many people wear a cross on a necklace or other jewelry. After all, a cross is an instrument of torture, an execution machine. Some might say it would be the same as wearing a little silver guillotine, or a gilded hangman’s noose, or a tiny pearl electric chair. So, what makes the cross different? The very contrivance which killed our Lord Jesus has become the trademark of our hope and salvation. Paul says in 1 Corinthians, “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Oh, friend, what was once a symbol of horrible death has miraculously become a symbol of power and life. So, are you wearing a cross today? If so, it’s your trademark of power, hope, and salvation. It is your symbol of what God can really do in your life.
