When filling out forms, you are often asked to make a cross in a field. This marks a correct answer or selection. The cross - i.e. the intersection of two lines - marks the exact location of the hit, so to speak. But the cross or X that we make in this way is not only used there. We also find the cross in everyday life on church roofs or as a jewellery or on mountain peaks. It reminds us of the way Jesus died. He hung there on the cross and also as a focal or crossing point of two facts that could not be more opposite to each other: on the one hand - perhaps the horizontal beam - the harmfulness and failure of human nature in all aspects of life and on the other hand - as the vertical beam - the righteousness and holiness that is with God, that is God himself. The point of intersection is Jesus. He brings both aspects together in himself. It is called forgiveness and it originates or culminates in the intersection of the beams: Grace.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
