'Cross' in the Bible

and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross -- through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

He has destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.

Disarming the rulers and authorities, he has made a public disgrace of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
