The Crucifix

The power of the cross and crucifixion comes from its symbolism and its reality. The symbol over time and through ages has penetrated the mind of humanity to become a source of wisdom, an object of contemplation, and a way to beholding the reality of its power, the crucifixion of the Son of God, its happening, and now serving as a gate into the kingdom of God. It may be that all we need to enter heaven is a cross before us and the time to contemplate its power, its beauty, its multiplicitous meaning, and its happening, and the eternal love that pours forth from its essence. Above all, it is the solution to all things, to all problems, and to all evil. It is God's solution to our sin.
