What exactly does the cross mean?

Your question is worth thinking about, because people often simply understand the cross as suffering in life, or unbearable temptation, or even the bitter fruit of their own crimes, and think that it is to bear the cross for the Lord. In fact, the cross is the power of God and our way. As the Lord said, "If anyone follows me …", those who follow the Lord must go through the crossroads. This is the road that the Lord Jesus walked out for us, and it is also the road that God's children will enter. The sign of this road is that people will obey God's will, just as the Lord Jesus prayed in Gethsemane Garden and said, "Father, don't do what I want, just" one of the servants of the Lord said, when the Lord Jesus was already on the spiritual cross, that was "obedience". For us today, carrying our own cross every day means learning to obey the Lord every day and making our minds obey God's will. If we follow the Lord, but also blindly follow our own path and act according to our own wishes, how can we really follow the Lord Jesus? Adam has too many rebellions, and too many people go their own way. Now the way of the Lord Christ is to renew and change our minds, and get the real blessing, meaning and value of life in obedience to God's will! When you choose to submit your meaning to God, it means that sometimes you will experience pain and deprivation, but in the end, "the cross can be exchanged for the crown of justice"! Can you understand the true meaning of the cross now?
