The cross

I've always wondered why a cross was called a cross...

isn't that an odd name? 
( I  mean... there are a lot of odd names in this world...like strawberry....Straw + berry?....Butter + fly?  and so on)

But now that I think about it. The cross is pretty appropriate in this case.

The cross is some kind of crossing over of two segments perpendicularly...an intersection I guess.

And it comes hand in hand with the gospel no?

Jesus came and became the bridge between a lost humanity and its Father in Heaven.

Because of the cross, we can actually cross over.

yup.
