The Cross

The Cross has become a misrepresentation of its true definition to what it really means

i find it ironically beside myself

when i see dudes wear chains of The Cross and contradict themselves by committing hateful sins that negates the origin of Jesus's legacy that lives on until this day moving forward

i recall a time recently when i saw this goon with a Cross chain and his man smoking weed trying to sound like ghetto philosophers who are delusional from reality each time they inhale stupidity that infiltrates to the brain cell causing it to malfunction

The Lord won over disciples with words that ministers the truth

not one time you never heard of The Lord smoking hydro with Peter to talk about next steps in healing someone who is very sick

the truth and power comes from God who send Jesus to Earth to mediate friction between people who didn't want to believe that there is a Jesus

i recall seeing the movie save the last dance where the actor fredro starr wore a chain that was all about fashion trend rather than honor

if my memory serves me correctly, towards the end of the movie, there was a shootout that lead to his arrest

and i was prayfully meditating this fruitful thought

i never heard of Jesus doing drive-bys with his disciples to shoot up the people of Israel for senseless beefs 

the people of Israel felt the wrath of God for being disobedient to his decrees, and yet God still loves everyone

i never heard of Jesus wearing a thick iced out Cross chain across his chest to look cool in front of God

He is the right hand of God's throne in his kingdom 

He is the representation of the ultimate sacrifice of crucifixion to our sins we committed

and yet i see people wear The Cross chain with Christ on it as if to say he died

you are not true believers of The Lord nor God

if you were, you would've known that in the bible, it clearly states that Jesus rose from the dead three days later after his crucifixion in resurrection to the newness of his life

who provides the gift of salvation, and forgiveness for all of us to repent all sins

and this is how people thank him

by letting the enemy disgrace his name in vein by using us to do his evil deeds that's contrary to the symbolism of The Cross

wearing a Cross chain doesn't mean 

to act ratchet

wearing a Cross chain doesn't mean 

to cheat on our loved ones

by the way, in the bible, it enlists the ten commandments that states: 

Thou shall not commit Adultery

wearing a Cross chain doesn't mean 

kill somebody, that's the role of the enemy

to steal, kill, and destroy

also in the ten commandments, it states:

Thou shall not kill

so before people go out to jewelry places and buy a Cross chain

make sure you get all the facts and confirmation from The Bible first

accept Christ in your heart so the holy spirits continues to strengthen you

and know that God became man in Jesus Christ

that is why God represents The Holy Trinity: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit

every prayer ends with an Amen

when people know how to do that faithfully, then wearing The Cross will look cool to the Lord.
