Messianic Congregations

My question is why do the Messianic Congregations find it so hard to embrace the CROSS?

As a Jew and a believer in Yeshua, Jesus, the Messiah,
the CROSS is a symbol of freedom, love, and completeness to me.

We are here to please God and not man. The CROSS is a stumbling
block to the Jews and even some gentiles, but that does not mean
we should grieve the Holy Sprit by 'denying' the CROSS.

It was on the CROSS that God had His Son go and on the CROSS Jesus
willingly laid down His life as the final sacrificial Lamb. When you
deny the CROSS you are basically denying what God did.

I refuse to compromise my belief in the CROSS!

The Star of David is a beautiful symbol and tradition, but it will
not SAVE you. It is only through what happened at Calvary and your acceptance of it that you will be saved.

For years as a kid I use to draw the Star of David with a Cross in
the middle of it. I know God was trying to get my attention even then. Praise Adonai, He did!
