Right.
But in that time, it's none of those things, right?
It is just a symbol of shame.
But you look what our God can do.
Our God can take what is meant for evil and he can turn it into something for good.
And I just think the cross is the perfect example.
We don't even know that in our society.
We see crosses and there are tattoos and there are necklaces and earrings and bracelets and all these things.
But we don't even realize that...
this used to be just, it was no hope.
It was an instrument of shame just for torture, for excruciating pain.
Like it's just, you know, they didn't even know, they didn't even have a word to describe the pain that Jesus went through.
And so they came up with the word excruciating and excruciating literally means out of the cross, right?
Like it's, that's, it's just, but yet what God can do with it.
But so many times we like kind of hear that, but we're like, yeah, but my life's a little different.
No, it's not.
God can do the same with our lives.
Like he can take our disappointments, our heartache, our brokenness, our failed dreams, and do so much more than we could ask, think, or imagine with it.
Why?
Because he's God and we're not.
