We look at the cross and we see our own sin. In the Old Testament when the Israelites were being bitten by the serpents, why did God have Moses make a bronze serpent for them to look at and be healed? Was it so they could see what it was that was killing them?

Do we look at the cross to be reminded of our sins-
of all that Christ had to go through-
of the life that we are daily dying to-
of the suffering our lives cause (ourselves, others, Christ)-
of the only way to be truly free?

(I don’t know if we wrote this or if we got it from somewhere-I know it came out of a discussion at some point)
