That’s a sweet story! I would have told him, as I tell my own, that it was His death on that cross that saved us. I’m sorry about your mother. You can continue to pray for her soul. God Bless you!

If Jesus didn't come up off that Cross, none of us are going to heaven...That's why the empty Cross is so important...He Is Risen...

Yes, just as important as His suffering and death ON the cross. There is nothing wrong with remembering both. I never said the empty cross wasn’t important. This was directed to a specific comment about why we still show Jesus on the cross. Because it was a significant moment. It does not take away the importance of Him rising rising from the dead.

In a similar manner, my love for Mary does not in any way take love away from Jesus. It is entirely possible to do both.
