The Daily Spectrum - Crosses Everywhere

I saw on Facebook recently several posts regarding crosses being banned, crosses supposedly falling on adult only stores, and crosses being burned. The cross comes to us from ancient times. Most believe its symbolism to stand for Christ who overcame death on the cross and into the Resurrection.

A cross was a symbol of a poor choice a person had made and they needed to die for that choice. This was justice during Julius Caesar's time. What does justice mean for us today? For me, justice has come best when I've turned the other cheek and walked away from my persecution... allowing God to be my vindication.

Justice means restoration - a coming back to life... a better life than what we had before... a reinstatement into the functioning or working society. Being lifted out of poverty... both physically and spiritually. Becoming alive again. Being with friends and family who accept us. Life is good.

Until next time,
The happy painter,
