The gospel is Christ crucified.
"For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles... When I came to you, brothers, announcing the testimony of God to you, I did not come with brilliance of speech of wisdom. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." 1 Corinthians 1:22-23, 2:1-2
So what does the cross represent to you?
