The cross is in our blood. White pus that forms on an infection is a collection of dead skin cells and dead white blood cells that are fighting off infection. White blood cells that had been floating through our bodies find and attack infection and then die so that we might live.
The cross is in our muscle. Muscle tissue must be torn in order to be built back stronger.
The cross is in our instinct. A mother will protect her young by sacrificing her own life.
The cross is at the heart of nations. Soldiers that die to protect the integrity of their country are honored.
The cross is in our popular culture. We are inspired by those who are redeemed and are lifted up.
The cross is in our history. The lives of those who died for another are lived on.
The cross is in botanical growth. The seed must break and die before more seeds are grown to produce fruit.
The cross is in sports culture. The redemption of a player inspires the faithful.
If this is the highest principle found on earth, and if their is a Creator of this earth, wouldn't we expect the highest sacrifice from the creator of humans... otherwise the creature would be greater than the Creator.
And we say their is a God who did show this love for us, even while we were His enemies.
And in our best moments we bare our Creator's image.
The cross is the answer from the Creator of human nature for the basic human problem.
John 15:13
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Great clips...I was reminded of Schindler's List as well..."Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." ...
11 For the Son of Man has come to save the lost. 12 What do you think? If a man has 100 sheep, and one of them goes astray, won't he leave the 99 on the hillside and go and search for the stray? 13 And if he finds it, I assure you: He rejoices over that sheep more than over the 99 that did not go astray. 14 In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
