Jesus and the Cross are offensive to people because His Name and symbol boldly state
“nothing you can do will ever be good enough to save you from hell”
Yep...I’d rather deal with the devil, who is honest about who he is, than a person who denies he exists!
It is easier than that:
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6
Just believe in him.
