Preaching cross

Okay kiddo, so you know how some people believe in God and Jesus, right? Well, a long time ago, Jesus died on a cross to save people's souls. Christians believe that this was a really important and special thing that happened. That's why you might see crosses in churches or on necklaces.

Now, when people talk about "preaching the cross," they usually mean that they want to talk about Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross. They want to teach others about what Jesus did and why it's important, so that more people can be saved and go to heaven.

Sometimes people use the phrase "preaching the cross" as a way to remind themselves and others of what Jesus did for them. It's like a little reminder to be grateful and faithful to God.
