I laugh some times because the CROSS represents a form of PUBLIC EXECUTION. It would be like us taking an ELECTRIC CHAIR and putting it everywhere for all to see.
Imagine you got a guy who they executed and he rose from the grave and his symbol was the ELECTRIC CHAIR and you had a Necklace around your neck with an ELECTRIC CHAIR on it........does that seem peculiar to you now? I walked outside the Box today. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm
Yes, it's a reminder of the seriousness of the situation. He suffered a torturous death for the individual wearing the cross. Presumably they know and understand that and that is why they are wearing the cross, because it has meaning to them and they are thankful.
Things that make an introspective person go hmm and humble themselves.
