During those dark years when atheistic Communism dominated East Germany, there was a symbol which brought hope and comfort to many who had refused to abandon their faith. It was a huge TV tower built to broadcast atheistic propaganda. Near the top was a globe-shaped restaurant. The remarkable thing was that the sunlight always reflected off the globe in the shape of a cross. The authorities tried everything they could think of to prevent this optical phenomenon but nothing worked. One Christian pastor commented wryly, “No matter how hard they try, they can’t get rid of the Cross!”
Well, European Communism is now dead, but the message of the Cross, that ‘God so loved the world that he gave his only son,’ lives on, and will forever; just as those who believe in Jesus will live forever.
