Ripples of Life

By: Jaymee B. Quindara

The cricifixion has been the symbol of our faith as Christians. We adore a Christ who appears to
be helpless and hopeless on the cross. For us Christians, we see in Jesus hanging on the cross the
indefatigable and unfathomable love of God for us.
Before the cross was a sign of death and hopelessness, now the cross becomes a symbol of love.
Before it was a sign of defeat, now it becomes a sign of victory over sin and death. Clearly, Jesus
gave new meaning to suffering on the cross. Jesus is a living reminder that we have a God who is
loving, caring, and merciful.
I have read a scripture from Philippians 2: 6-8 saying that even thougj Jesus was in a form of
God, he made Himself a servant born in the likeness of men. Being found in human form, Jesus
humbled himself by becoming obedient to the will of our Lord to the end as He fulfilled His
mission.
Like what Jesus did we must be completely committed to the mission that God gave us. And we
must be prepared to give all that we got to God. This doesn't mean that we should die, though
some did like San Loremzo Ruiz, we may fulfill our mission which is spreading the "Good News
of God's love" in our own little ways.
