The cross has great, ancient meaning, before the Christ was crucified. That is why it is so prevalent in medicine too. In most ancient times the cross (‘MASH’) meant a sacrifice opening the way to the gods giving revelations to humans. Christ’s crucifixion opened the way for God to give the Holy Spirit to those who believe and receive Christ and His teachings, holding to them. This Holy Spirit wells up within them and leads into all truth. This truth sets free from the sinful ways that lead to death. This Spirit therefore gives life. Abundant life. All purchased by that cross of Christ.
