Why the cross? Many people today who love Jesus, are offended by the cross. I've heard that question so many times, "why the cross?" It is disturbing that God the Father would send his Son to be crucified. It is disturbing that God would a price, such a price, would need to be paid for our redemption. There are many ways to look at the cross; it's mean is deep and mysterious. What was accomplished on the cross goes well beyond my ability to understand. But scripture is clear, there was a price to be paid. There was a battle to be won. And there was a love to be given. What I know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that the cross shows us how much we are loved by God the Father and his Son, Jesus.
