A Sign of Victory
The cross is not the end but love's path to triumph. In Christ's suffering, we see love that endures all things. By embracing our crosses, we walk with him and share his victory, his hope, and real life.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57
More Than Suffering
The cross is often misunderstood. It’s not just a symbol of suffering — it is a sign of love, freely given. Christ chose it to show how far love is willing to go.
Embracing the Cross
Jesus invites us to take up our own crosses. This doesn’t mean looking for pain, but embracing the cost of love: patience, forgiveness, faithfulness in difficulty.
The Power of the Resurrection
The cross only makes sense in light of the Resurrection. From what seemed like defeat came life. Our trials, too, can be transformed in the hands of God.
Following the Crucified and Risen Lord
To follow Jesus is to pass through the cross into joy. He walks ahead of us. The cross doesn’t have the last word — love does.
