The feast of the Holy Cross
Chosen verses:
A) Some symbols of the Cross in the Old Testament:
1-The tree of life:
"He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever" (Takween, Gen: 3:22).
JESUS Is the LIFE. HE is our lives "Most assuredly, I Say to you for the hour is coming, and NOW is, when the dead hear the voice of the SON of GOD, and those who hear will live (Believers in the NAME of our LORD JESUS CHRIST while they are living as sojourners on earth who hear and follow HIS WORD and Are Granted life) "….for the hour is coming in which all who are in graves will hear HIS VOICE and come forth-those who have done good to the RESURRECTION of LIFE…"(The JUDGEMENT). "I AM the RESUSRRECTION and the LIFE, he who believes in ME, though he may die, he shall live..". (Youhana, Jn: 5:24-29&&11:24-25). Our LORD JESUS CHRIST Granted us the eternal life by Sacrificing HIMSELF by HIS OWN WILL(Youhanna, Jn:10:18) , on the CROSS.
"...down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life.."(Roaya Youhanna, Rev:22:2).
2-Moses held his hands up and Jews won:
"As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning" ( Koroog, Ex:7:11).
3-The tree that made bitter waters sweet:
" The LORD showed him a tree. When he (Moses) cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet" (koroog, Ex: 15:25)
4-Piece of wood made the iron float:
"Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float" (2Molook, 2K: 6:7).
B) The Cross (New Testament):
"but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" ( 1Coronthius: 1Co: 1:23-24)
"Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires"(Galatia, Gal: 5:14)
"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world" (Galatia, Gal: 6:14)
