Bible Question: what does it mean to take oup your cross |
Bible Answer: This quote isn't complete. It's about 'Taking up your cross,' but ALSO, 'following God.' Jesus said to someone, "take up your cross and follow me." (...I'll have to look up where that is:) ) A person who has a big cross in both arms is a person who has decided to take the big burden somewhere important. I think if you carry a cross, it's a bit like carrying a bible in your hand and having the words to say to people who are questioning, doubting or sinning. This sort of person takes his burden everywhere, but sometimes leaves it at the entrance of the building (like work, the pub, the casino, the mall, or the grocery store, etc). And when the cross is dropped, so is the Bible and the desire to do what God wants/is right. I believe that when you follow God you have that cross in your arms. And like the poem of the foot-prints, I think God takes our cross in His arms either most or all of time in order that we may spread the gospel, do right, and continue to be near Him. After all, its when we are near God, or reading his Word, we discover really how amazing God is. A person with a cross has a goal of bringing that cross somewhere-of walking with it for God and near God. After all, who would carry a burden for no reason at all? |
