What does this symbolize? Southern heritage. Pride. Dixie. Valor. Rebellion. Redneck. Slavery. Racism. Oppression. Fear.

What does this Symbolize? It means different things to different people (1 Cor. 1:18) It was literally a shameful form of execution (Heb. 12:2; Galatians 3:13) Jesus used the cross to symbolize a disciple’s complete devotion (Matthew 16:24-26; Mark 10:21; Galatians 2:20)

What does this Symbolize? Identifying with the cross indicated a willingness to suffer persecution (Galatians 5:11) It represents reconciliation to God (Ephesians 2:16; Colossians 1:19-20) It is the Christian’s supreme symbol! (Galatians 6:14; Philippians 3:20)

What this means to us… is determined by what this means to us. 2 Timothy 2:4 Philippians 3:20 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 Romans 14:13

The Cross is Everything to the Christian “But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” (Galatians 6:14)
