Saturday, March 27, The Cross

The cross has been symbolized so much I fear it has become just an object of religion. When I watched the movie about Jesus' last few days and it showed the incredible amount of suffering He went through and the way he was nailed (spiked really) to those wooden beams, it made it much more real for me. I cannot imagine what it was like. Yet, He tells us that separation from HIm for eternity will be worse than what He suffered. When I think of what He went through for me, it is very humbling. I really don't have much of a cross to bear in this old world. Father, keep me focused on the eternal life you have promised and help me keep this old world in perspective. Thank you for loving me so very much.
