The Romans killed Jesus on a cross. The Jewish leaders wanted to kill him, but the Roman government did not allow Jews to kill people. So they told the Roman rulers lies about Jesus so that the rulers would command their soldiers to crucify Jesus.
In addition to Jesus’ physical death, the word “cross” is also used to talk about all things Jesus’ death means. The law of Moses said that anyone hung on a tree is cursed (see: Deuteronomy 21:23). Jesus himself was not cursed, but humanity was cursed because people sinned. Jesus took the punishment for all people when he died. He did this because all people sinned and deserved to die for their sinning. But Jesus died instead of all people. He died to take the punishment for sinning from all the people who believe in him (see: Galatians 3:13; Colossians 2:14; 1 Peter 2:24).
Sometimes the word "cross " is used to talk about Jesus' death on the cross. Sometimes it is used to talk about what Jesus did for people when he died on the cross. And sometimes it is used to talk about the message about what Jesus did for people when he died on the cross.
This is what Jesus did when he died on the cross. All people sin and deserve to be punished. That punishment is death. But Jesus never sinned, so he did not deserve to be punished. When Jesus died on the cross, he took people's punishment in order to save all who believe in him (see: Galatians 3:13; Colossians 2:14; 1 Peter 2:24).
