Yes, I understand that. I've seen all three kinds of crosses in churches: ones with our crucified Lord, empty ones, and symbolic risen Christ crucifixes similar to this one:

It's a matter of emphasis, really. I guess we could think about it for years without reaching the full depth of St. Paul's words:

"For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified."
1 Corinthians 2:2

Paul was speaking in the past tense. Crucified. He’s now risen. Why keep showing Him on the Cross is all I’m saying.
