Why do we put crosses up everywhere if we want Jesus to come back?

Doesn't it seem like Jesus may be a little phobic of them? Isn't it also kind of a weird thing to worship, a torture used to kill the savior.

    Oh, you know... *shifty eyes*

    You do know what happens when he returns, right? The safest way to go would be to loudly proclaim how eager you are awaiting his return, but wear a cross anyway.

    And just in case, put some crosses on clothes. And buildings. And statues.

    Feel larger? Glad you acquired that off your chest. Now for those who might simply spend one minute establishing your brain to a further's factor of view you could honestly see it's not all that you just as soon as suggestion. I put on a crucifix. It represents probably the most lovely factor God has ever performed for the sector. You have got to take into account that us Christians view Christ's execution as a lot more than only a few capital punishment. He is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the sector. My crucifix additionally isn't an idol. I don't worship it. I don't have any usual it right into a deity. I realize it's bodily not anything greater than a work of gold. Telling me that my dressed in a crucifix is idolatry could be tantamount to pronouncing my wearing images of my mother within my pockets is idolatry. I realize that you just (and plenty of different Christians) decide upon to position extra inventive emphasis at the risen Christ. That's unusual, and I do not care to demonize you for doing so. The resurrection is a lovely outcome we can all at some point appear ahead to owed most effective to the resurrection of Jesus. Live and permit reside, eh? I'm now not right here hypothesizing at the factors on your averting the crucifix, I simply want you might come up with the money for me with the identical courtesy. PS: I do not consider any of Jesus' instantaneous household contributors are alive as a way to take offense.

    Crosses are symbolic to some of the pain and suffering and ridicule and mockery Jesus suffered on the cross for the sins of mankind.

    Crosses are not worshipped for that would be idolatry.

    Jesus would have no phobia or fear of a cross, that is not in the nature of Him. He had no fear of the cross and what came with it when He died there on it. He accepted what was going to happen to Him and He knew what His sacrifice was worth. So much love in Him and it Glorified His Father in Heaven and gave everlasting life to millions.

    Reverse psychology. Maybe Jesus has Stockholm Syndrome.

    It's a symbol of how he sacrificed His Son so we could be free and so we could live in Heaven eternally if we believed in Him. They are put up so that we remember what he did for us.
