Oh, the Old Rugged Cross….

To remember Jesus is to remember first of all his Cross. -John Knox

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Galatians 6:14

There is no other song in our Hymn book I love to hear more than “The Old Rugged Cross.” That song reminds me of my Mom first because she use to play it on an old desk top organ. But it means more to me now because I actually know what that cross represents. It represents the way of salvation—for everyone must come by the cross! It represents the means of salvation--- for without the cross no one would be saved! It represents the glory of salvation—for through it we have Heaven as our eternal home!
