One Cut Cross (Instructive Essay)

Faith in God means we rely on him and depend on his reliability. Genuine faith is relying on God's direction and on who he is. But I tell you, that there are people who don't believe that God died for us, so there’s no reason to have faith in Him. But would you believe that there’s one man who proves that having faith with God is worth it. I have a short story for all of you before we start our activity.

There was a man who was put into the prison for his faith in Jesus. The interrogator tells him that he will not be killed if he can make a cross using a piece of paper in just one cut, so the man prayed all night and ask for His guidance, the man wasn’t allowed to practice. Then the next day, he was brought before the interrogator. The man asked for the paper and he was began folding, right after that he asked for scissors. He made one cut, and there, in the pieces, was a cross.

So did I made your curious on how the man did the one cut cross? Well if that so, we may now start our activity, but before we start, you should have the materials man used too - one piece of bond paper and scissors. If you already have the materials then we can start now.

The first step is to fold the top left corner down to the edge of the paper, forming a triangle and after that fold the top right corner down, now you can see that it looks like a house with a pitched roof.

Next is fold in half along a vertical line and fold in half vertically again.

And the final step is called “ cutting “ where you will cut along the vertical line.

Unfortunately, we think we know better. We think we have a better plan. We want to use our logic and get to the answer in a way that makes us look good and doesn’t require risk. But God wants us to grow, so he takes us a different way.
