It has been said that the shape of the cross is a good reminder of the fellowship that we have in Christ.

The vertical post can symbolize the fellowship we have with God. Since the blood of Jesus has taken away our sins, there is no longer anything to separate us from God. We are now able to enter into his glorious presence.

The horizontal beam can remind us of the fellowship that we have with one another. We are not in this journey alone. We have fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and we can enjoy close relationships with one another in a way that people outside the family of God can never experience.

“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.”—1 John 1:3-4.
