So they took Jesus, and carrying the cross himself he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha.

John 19:17


Think of Christ carrying his cross through the streets. Historians estimate that the cross weighed approximately 300 pounds. Even with Simon of Cyrene to help carry it, the mental and physical pain from carrying that weight while being beaten, spit at, and yelled at, would have been excruciating. However, Jesus carried much more than his cross that day. He carried the weight of every sin that had ever been and would ever be committed. And those sins- our sins- are infinitely heavier than a cross. Jesus didn't need to do this. He was God! He could've just as easily taken himself out of the situation. But he didn't. He chose to carry his cross and eventually die out of pure love for us.


Here's the link to the scene where Jesus carries his Cross from the movie, The Passion of the Christ. It's a very powerful clip. I will caution you though, it's very difficult to watch.

Never forget that you are so loved by God. Nothing you ever do will take that away. Let Him be the Lord of your life. He has a plan specifically in mind for you. Give up control and let him take over. Only HE can make you truly happy.

 

God bless <3
