What You’ll Learn:
Many people wear a cross in the form of a necklace or on their clothing, yet do not realize the importance of this symbol. What did the cross represent? In Roman society, the cross was a symbol of death. The cross was reserved for criminals sentenced to capital punishment, left for dead for public viewing. The death of Jesus on the cross reminds us of his great love. Despite living without sin, he took the place of our sins. When we see a cross, we should view it as more than an accessory or even a religious symbol. The cross is a sign of Christ’s love—as well as his suffering—showing us the way to eternal life.
