On Holy Cross Day, Rev. Jon Jordan reflects on the meaning of the cross—not only as a symbol of suffering, but as the ultimate victory of God over sin, death, and evil. The cross was meant for destruction, yet through Christ it has become the source of life, hope, and salvation.
Drawing from Galatians 6:14, Romans 8:38–39, and Luke 9:23, this sermon invites us to lift high the cross and live as people shaped by its power. With illustrations from C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, Rev. Jordan shows how God transforms what was meant for harm into a lamp of light guiding us forward in faith and resurrection hope.
