TURNING POINT

   The cross of Jesus is the most recognized symbol of all symbols throughout human history, and His death is known by more people than the death of any person. 
   The cross of Jesus is not only a reminder of His death, but the cross is also a reminder of His resurrection.
   After the crucifixion of Jesus, people began to believe on His name:  not only because of His death, but also because they believed that He was alive!
   People began to depart from Jerusalem to tell the world the story of Jesus:  not only because of His death, but also because they believed that He is alive
   Men wrote the New Testament of the Bible:  not only because of the birth and death of Jesus, but also because they believed that Jesus is alive!
   Over the past 2000 years, men have murdered Christians:  not because the Christians believed that Jesus was dead, but they were murdered because they believed that Jesus is alive!
   The cross of Jesus became a turning point in human history as people began to turn toward Jesus, or they continued to turn away. 
   When people see the cross today, they are reminded of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which places their feet at the turning point:  the point where they will turn toward Jesus, or the point where they will continue to turn away from Him. 
   Today, millions of Christians worldwide are continuing to teach and preach, sing and write about Jesus:  not only because we believe that Jesus died, but also because we believe that Jesus is alive!
   Furthermore, we believe in the same cross, the same death, and the same resurrection of Jesus Christ as believers believed 2000 years ago:  that Jesus is alive!
