On this Sunday, as we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, Jesus, in *Jn 3:13-17,* reminds us of his mission on earth. He says: God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. This is to say, the cross for us Christians is not a source of suffering or death, but the path to eternal life. How do you see the cross of Christ in your life today? He assures us that those who look upon the Son of Man on the cross and believe will have eternal life. Are you one of those Christians who want to be saved but do not have the courage to look at the cross of Christ? Why are you afraid of the cross of Jesus?
