The Old Rugged Cross (Prayer Sound)

The Old Rugged Cross: A Reflection with Bible References The Meaning of the Cross In the Christian faith, the cross is not merely a religious symbol; it is the very heart of the gospel message. It represents the place where divine love and justice met. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (NKJV) The cross was a Roman instrument of execution — a symbol of shame, humiliation, and suffering. Yet, for believers, it became a symbol of victory and hope. Jesus Christ willingly endured the agony of the cross to reconcile humanity with God. The Cross and Salvation The hymn proclaims the desire to "cling to the old rugged cross," symbolizing a deep, personal attachment to Christ's sacrifice. It reminds believers that salvation is not earned by good works but received through faith in what Jesus accomplished at Calvary. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 (NIV) He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24 (NIV) Hope Beyond the Cross While the cross represents suffering, it also points to the glory to come. Jesus’ crucifixion was not the end — it led to resurrection and eternal life. The hymn ends with the promise that the faithful will one day exchange the “old rugged cross” for a “crown” in glory. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name. Philippians 2:8–9 (NIV) “Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10 (NIV) The Old Rugged Cross is more than a Prayer Sound it is a declaration of faith. It reminds Christians of the cost of their redemption, the depth of Christ’s love, and the hope of eternal life. Clinging to the cross means embracing both its sorrow and its glory, knowing that it leads to everlasting joy. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown. A mandate to make MEN as GOD....
