Okay, I know the topic sounds dumb...but when I was reading a post in Interfaith, this question came to me.
I have this necklace I wear all the time (except to bed and in the shower). It's a gold chain, and it's got a crucifix on it. The cross is gold and Jesus is silver.
I saw a picture of this particular necklace many years ago...like 15 years or so...in a catalog and thought it was just beautiful. My now ex-fiance bought me the necklace I have now our first Christmas together.
I'm not Catholic. I know there are people out there who associate the crucifix with Catholics...and Catholics only.
I personally believe that it's important to remember Christ's ultimate sacrifice...his death on the cross. Yes, he did rise from the dead...leaving an empty cross. But without that first part...Him on the cross...we wouldn't have the second.
My question is this. Is it wrong of me, as a Protestant, to be wearing a crucifix?
I'm just looking for some viewpoints on this. And I know here I'll get good ones!
Thanks!!
