The entire Old Testament of the Bible leads up to the New Testament to lead to Jesus Christ and His death on the cross for human redemption. In the Old Testament, we see two main factors, sinful humans who cannot comply with the Law (the Ten Commandments) along with genealogy and prophecy leading to one man – Jesus. All that came before lead to Jesus. God has never forsaken His precious humans. First, He was with us on earth; then He sent His Son followed by the Holy Spirit to guide us and keep us connected to the Trinity.Â
All of these factors lead to the importance of the cross. Without the cross, we are stuck to take the punishment for our sins. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” If Jesus had not died on the cross, we would have to die so blood could be shed to cover our sins. Jesus’ blood was capable of covering all of our sins because he was without sin.Â
Now instead of the cross symbolizing death, it symbolizes redemption and love. The cross became the greatest sacrifice and love story ever told, a gift from the Creator. Only with the cross can we live forever with God as Jesus fulfilled the Law and made a way man could be in God’s presence even in our sinful nature.
1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
