When we make the sign of the cross, we proclaim the message of salvation purchased by Jesus through the cross. The Bible clearly states :”For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved , is the power of God” (1Corinthians 1:18).

The Bible teaches us to be proud of it as the message of the cross is the power of God; “But God forbids that I should boast except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me and I to the world” (Galatians 6:14).

The Cross symbolizes our day to day sufferings without with there is no crown for Christians. When Peter tried to keep Jesus away from the Cross, He called Peter “Satan”. So it is clear , Satan is afraid and keeps himself away from the cross as it is through the Cross that Jesus destroyed the devil’s kingdom and saved mankind from the slavery of sin and death.
