I remember back in the day when Livets Ord built the new church building. The critics where many and the criticism enormous. One of the things they were critisized for was the lack of a cross. There was no cross in the building that would indicate that Livets Ord was a church. Just a few days ago they had a cross put up from the floor of the building through the roof of the building.
Now, 25 years later, one could think that the critics would be happy. And some of them are. But if you read http://aletheia.se/2008/06/08/ulf-ekman-i-dagen/ you can wittness how some Chrisitian brothers and sisters have some rather tremendous problems with this cross.
The discussion is so silly that one might think that……I am not sure what to think.
Let us always be glad for the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus Christ which took place on that cross.�
UPDATE!!! yet one more entry on Aletheia regarding this cross http://aletheia.se/2008/07/03/14-meter-stolthet-eller-verkligt-kors/#comment-95118
I wonder what Jesus is thinking about this discussion. He must be devestated. Or, what do you think Jesus feels right now regarding this discussion?

His heart must break. I guess some find the cross a stumbling block others an offense.Isnt that Paul’s words? Alethia I guess finds both.
