There’s more in this message than most will see, I think. The cross is an easy reference, and “grading on the curve” is a well-known axiom. But what does it mean?

“God grades on the cross” means that the only way into heaven is through Jesus. All Christians know this, and this is just a reminder.

“… not the curve” means that it’s not enough to be a good person. How good can you possibly be? Can you be as good as God? Of course not. So “good” is relative. Relative to whom? Other humans? That would work if God graded on the curve. But it’s not good enough to be “one of the better people”. In fact, it’s not even the top requirement. Firstly you must accept Jesus as your savior. Find God through Him.

Because God grades on the cross, see? Not the curve.

Maybe the subtlety of this sign will make it stick in people’s minds. It’s a bit ominous that it’s in a cemetery, though.
