The Exaltation of Holy Cross





Moses lifted up the snake in the desert.It is the same with the Son of Man. He must be lifted up too.Then everyone who believes in him can have eternal life.Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world. He did not send him to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him(John 3:14-17)

"And through him, God was happy to bring all things back to himself again—things on earth and things in heaven.God made peace by using the blood sacrifice of his Son on the cross.(Colossians1:20).The teaching about the cross seems foolish to those who are lost. But to us who are being saved it is the power of God.(1 Corinthians 1:18)"

"How splendid the cross of Christ! It brings life, not death; light, not darkness; Paradise, not its loss. It is the wood on which the Lord, like a great warrior, was wounded in hands and feet and side, but healed thereby our wounds. A tree has destroyed us, a tree now brought us life" (Theodore of Studios).
