Jesus and cross

Jesus Christ is the reason for the season . . . . Jesus is the reason why I desire to see all men come to know Him as Lord and Savior. + , is this a plus sign or a positive sign? What about the cross(+)? If a man is offended by the cross of Christ on the side of a highway . . . I say, thanks! I say, Man . . . you get the cross, you understand what the cross is about, the Roman cross inflicted great pain upon the one who was nailed to it, the cross was inhumane, a savage way to punish the guilty, the cross was and is ugly . . . But God commendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us(on a cross). Let the cross offend you, let the cross nauseate you, and let the cross nag your heart to the extent that you will see yourself as a sinner, being loved by God the Father, who gave His Son to die on the cross that whosoever believes upon Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
