NOT still on that crucifix thingy

Without the Cross, there could be no Resurrection. To underestimate the pain and suffering He endured for our salvation is to do Him a disservice.

In Job's time, suffering was considered an affliction, a punishment from God. The Passion and Death of Jesus gave meaning and dignity to suffering. It was the price of our salvation.

By the way,a crucifix is a cross with a represenation of the Suffering Jesus attached, as a reminder of the Love that God has for us in giving us His Only-Begotten Son, allowing Him to willingly suffer and die for our sins: and, yes, Resurrect Himself from the dead!

"Thingy?" Take a look and see what your Savior went through for love of all mankind!

You are either willfully or mistakenly misrepresenting what I wrote.

If you are really mistaken, I meant a crucifix, not the Cross. There is a difference and I think you should know that.
