Did you ever think about how many people are wearing crosses around their necks today? And its not just Catholics anymore. There is way too much focus on the cross today. Take Mel Gibson's Passion for example. Everything was focused on the sufferings of Jesus with only one brief look at the resurrection scene. As Christians, the cross was the lowest point in our salvation process. As Jesus' disciples looked with dread on the cross, they knew their Lord was dying. The cross was Satan's greatest victory. Still, we can and should appreciate the work that Jesus did on the cross, for us. But in my opinion, there is way too much emphasis placed on the cross today. We should be looking at and enjoying the power of the resurrection! I believe this is just too tell-tale of a trend that is going on in modern Christianity's attitude. Rather than living in victorious Christian living, they instead stoop to commemorate the defeats and losses we have had. Let's be looking ahead, with the resurrection in our hindsight, and the crown straight ahead!
