Carry My Cross-Third Day

So I’ll carry my cross
And I’ll carry the shame
To the end of the road
Through the struggle and pain
And I’ll do it for love
No, it won’t be in vain
Yes, I’ll carry my cross
And I’ll carry the shame

I feel like I’m alone here
And I’m treated like a criminal
The time has come for me now
Even though I’ve done no wrong
Father, please forgive them
They know not what they’ve done
In this world

 

Here is Jesus, the sinless Son of God, giving Himself up for the sins of the world. He carried the cross of guilt, shame, and punishment for everyone who ever lived, past, present, and future. His life was not taken from Him-He gave it for you and for me.

They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha John 19:17

Let that thought sink in as we reflect on Good Friday and why we called it good.
