The Christian symbol is the most recognizable symbol around the
world. It represents Christianity, Christ’s death upon the cross and His ultimate
victory over the cross. Although it is not a pleasing symbol, we have
recognized the cross as one crucial event intentionally endured by God for humanity’s
sake. This most crucial event is the means by which God showed
His passion for us and exhibited His power to save us. There could be no
greater symbol of love and should not be a more recognizable symbol in all the
world.
But through mass marketing there is now a symbol that has even surpassed
the cross as the most recognizable symbol in all of the world. What is
it? It’s not another religious group. It’s a place where most every one of us
has eaten at some point in our lives. It is the McDonald’s arches. They have
over 32,000 restaurants in the world which market and publicize its symbol for
fast food hamburgers and fries.
Although it shouldn’t matter to us whether the cross or the arches are
the most recognizable symbols, it should matter to us what it means upon the
consciousness of the people of the world. I did not know the cross was even
the most recognizable symbol until it was pointed out to me that it had been
surpassed by McDonald’s. I will keep on believing in Jesus and I will keep on
believing that the cross is the most important symbol to the world, whether or
not it is the most recognizable. Join with me in affirming this and worshipping
God together.
In the Cross of Christ,
John
