For the past 17 years. My hearts desire is to share words that honor and uplift the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus endured a tremendous sacrifice on the cross for every single person in this world.
The cross on Highway 45 symbolizes both a joyous celebration and a reminder of the reason Jesus chose to suffer for our sins.
The cross stands tall, and it touches my heart every time I pass by. It reminds me of Jesus’s profound love, as He chose to stay on that cross instead of calling down angels to rescue Him from the unmerciful agony and suffering he endured.
Those who contributed to the building of the cross knew exactly how their donations would be used. They made a choice to invest their money in a large cross for other to see…to stop by and reminisce in their hearts that love was the reason Jesus chose the cross.
I understand that some may have concerns about alternative uses for those funds.
I’m sure you are a giver and I respect your choices regarding where you give. It’s your money, and you are empowered to make those decisions, just like everyone who supported the building of the cross.
Let’s take a moment to be thankful that God instilled in us a desire to give. He delights when we remember Him and others through our acts of generosity. God loves a cheerful giver!
In my humble way, which means giving as I can, I want to contribute to maintaining the presence of our cross, ensuring the grounds are clean and the lights shine bright. I want the world to see that there are people in Booneville, Mississippi, who have chosen to use their resources to remind others about the sacrifice Jesus made for us all.
Whether you support the cross or not, remember this: He loves each of us, and He died so that we could all have the gift of eternal life.
