The Cross
by Max Lucado
The cross. Can you turn any direction without seeing
one? Perched atop a chapel. Carved into a graveyard headstone. Engraved
in a ring or suspended on a chain. The cross is the universal symbol of
Christianity. An odd choice, don’t you think? Strange that a tool of
torture would come to embody a movement of hope. The symbols of other
faiths are more upbeat: the six-pointed star of David, the crescent moon
of Islam, a lotus blossom for Buddhism. Yet a cross for Christianity? An
instrument of execution?
Would you wear a tiny electric chair around
your neck? Suspend a gold-plated hangman’s noose on the wall? Would you
print a picture of a firing squad on a business card? Yet we do so with
the cross. Many even make the sign of the cross as they pray. Would we
make the sign of, say, a guillotine? Instead of the triangular touch on
the forehead and shoulders, how about a karate chop on the palm? Doesn’t
quite have the same feel, does it?
Why is the cross the symbol of our
faith? To find the answer look no farther than the cross itself. Its
design couldn’t be simpler. One beam horizontal—the other vertical. One
reaches out—like God’s love. The other reaches up—as does God’s
holiness. One represents the width of his love; the other reflects the
height of his holiness. The cross is the intersection. The cross is
where God forgave his children without lowering his standards.
How
could he do this? In a sentence: God put our sin on his Son and punished
it there.
“God put on him the wrong who never did anything wrong, so
we could be put right with God” (2 Cor. 5:21 MSG).

Obituaries
Robert
Moore "Bob" Crossley Sr.
Wolfeboro - Robert Moore "Bob" Crossley Sr., 56, died peacefully Saturday, March 13, 2010, at home.
He was the loving husband of Ann Crossley of Wolfeboro.
Born Nov.
23, 1953, in Stamford, Conn., to Suzanne (Moore) Crossley and the late
Joseph Crossley, he was a dedicated father and husband, known for his
quick wit and passion for hard work.
He attended elementary school
in Stamford, Conn.; Montvale (N.J.) Memorial Middle School; Westerly
Parkway High School in University Park, Pa.; and graduated from Cushing
Academy in Ashburnham, Mass., in 1970. Bob attended Lincoln Technical
Institute at the top of his class, then graduated with honors from
Morris County Community College in New Jersey.
Bob began his retail
career in the Quick-Check Food Stores in New Jersey and became district
manager before he and Ann purchased their own store in Barnstead in
August 1988. In 1999, after successfully growing the business, Bob and
Ann received an offer to sell the store. They moved to the beautiful
lakeside community of Wolfeboro, where they entered the real estate
industry as a full-time endeavor.
When not pursuing his professional
dreams, Bob most enjoyed time spent with his family, traveling with his
wife in their RV and long motorcycle rides along the scenic roads of his
beloved Granite State.
Bob was a member of the National Association
of Realtors, the State Commercial Board and the Rochester Chamber of
Commerce, among other organizations. He was also a lifetime member of
the American Motorcycle Association.
In addition to his wife, he is
survived and dearly missed by his mother, Suzanne Crossley of Jaffrey;
his daughters, Desiree Crossley of Rochester, Rhiannon Jackson and
husband, Jerome, of Fayetteville, N.C., and Kimberly Crossley of
Concord; his son, Robert Moore Crossley Jr. of Jacksonville, Fla.; two
beloved grandsons, Robby M. Crossley III and Jaidyn Jackson; his
brothers, Peter J. Crossley of Enfield, Conn., and Lawrence A. Crossley
and partner, Virginia Fressola, of Concord; as well as aunts, nieces and
nephews.
He will be remembered by his family, friends and colleagues
as a man of strength, integrity and conviction, with an infectious laugh
and a ready opinion on most anything.
A memorial gathering was held
Friday, March 20, 2010, at the Baker-Gagne Funeral Home, Wolfeboro.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American
Motorcycle Association or the Realtors Political Action Committee of New
Hampshire.
