Dear Boys and Girls,

While Jesus was on the cross, dying for our salvation, He uttered seven cries:-

     1. Father forgive them for they know not what they do.

     2. Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in prardise.

     3. Woman, behold your son!

     4. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?

     5. I thirst.

     6. It is finished!

     7. Into your hands I commend my spirit.

The cires indicate that He felt much pain, anguish, sorrow, humiliation, and loneliness. We also get a glimpse of His love and care for the human race including boys and girls.

How can any of us take offence of the cross or despise it? Do believe the cross and avoid the penalties of sin.

Will you accept the Christ of the cross this very moment?

With love ,

Your Sister in Christ.

The Cross Causes Offence

as it is difficult to understand

how the cross can be a symbol

and means Salvation
