Jesus came to give us life. We don't have to hang on a cross like he did. For him, it was a sacrifice. For us, it is a gift.

He endured all that hell is on the cross, so that you would never know what hell is like.

The cross I made needs no man on its chest, for its eyes are where its heart is.

The only cross in all of history that was turned into an altar was the cross on which Jesus Christ died. It was a Roman cross. They nailed Him on it, and God, in His majesty and mystery, turned it into an altar. The Lamb who was dying in the mystery and wonder of God was turned into the Priest who offered Himself. No one else was a worthy offering.

Jesus didn't die as a frustrated failed revolutionary. His death was the revolution.

The last Christian died on the cross
