Dear friends in Christ,
Leah recently had to have a tooth pulled at the dentist and she was really worried about it. To her, it wasn’t fair, and she didn’t want to do it. We’ve been through this and it ends ok. Nobody really likes having work done at the dentist. While these truths weren’t the comfort Leah wanted, she got through it like a trooper! It was just a cross she had to bear in the moment.
That expression comes from Jesus bearing the cross to Calvary on our behalf. Any cross we bear is a combination resulting from sin in the world, and our own decisions and sinfulness. Jesus on the other hand had no sin. He was the sinless son of God. Jesus went to the cross to die for the sins of the world and to save us. Did you know that Peter, the disciple of Jesus, actually tried to stop him?
It’s true! We’re discussing that this week at Prince of Peace. Thankfully, for our sake, Jesus was not going to be deterred from his mission. He bore the cross to hell and back, rising in victory Easter morning, winning salvation for us, and giving us life in his name. That’s the promise for eternity. For now, we take up our cross and follow Jesus. Life is full of hard things. In Christ we stand. By his grace we go each day!
Blessings on your week!
