The Cross is our Symbol

And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23

Christians need nothing else to let people know we follow Jesus. The Cross is our symbol. It has been atop our churches for centuries.

When we follow the Cross of Jesus and deny ourselves, we follow his scriptures and see all people whom he blesses:

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth,

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.  Matthew 13:2

Jesus went to the cross to die for us, all people, no exceptions.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come over you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8

Prayer: Dear Lord, please guide me daily, help me to follow you and treasure all people. Help me to be your witness each day. Amen.
