A friend of mine recently posted in his blog that "the cross is the focal point of all history". What a profound reality! The entire old testament points to that day and all of history since that day has revolved around it.
Whether you believe in it's significance or not you cannot argue that the cross and the Man on it has not shaped the world! Is there a greater point of contention anywhere in the world? If you believe in it's significance it is the source of unending peace and joy in the fact that we can spend eternity (starting today) with God and not eternity without Him. And if you think it was a meaningless occurance you cannot ignore the fact that governments have been built around it and countless wars have been fought either defending or attacking those who profess it's importance. I wish I were more eloquent, but reading that statement hit me in a new way. It truly was the most important event since the fall of Man; for if Man hadn't sinned, the act of the cross wouldn't have been necessary...but that's a whole other topic!
