Jesus the carrying of the Cross

Our Savior....

"Some of the governor's soldiers took Jesus into their

headquarters and called out the entire battalion.

They stripped him and put a

scarlet robe on him.

They made a crown of long, sharp thorns

and put it on his head,

and they placed a stick

in his right hand as a scepter.

Then they knelt before him in mockery,

yelling, "Hail! King of the Jews!"

And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and

beat him on the head with it.

When they were finally tired of mocking him,

they took off the robe and

put his own clothes on him again.

Then they led him away to be crucified." ---Matt 27:27-31



Jesus on the Cross

Our Savior......

"And they brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha.

They offered him wine drugged

with myrrh, but he refused it.

Then they nailed him to the cross.

They gambled for his clothes,

throwing dice to decide

who would get them."

"It was nine o'clock in the morning

when the crucifixion took place.....

At noon, darkness fell

across the whole land until three o'clock.

light from the sun was gone.

And suddenly, the thick veil hanging

in the Temple was torn apart.

Then Jesus shouted,

"Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!"

And with those words he breathed his last.

-----Luke 23:44-46

Our Savior......

Tomorrow is Friday, the day Jesus was led away

to be crucified on the cross for you and me.

I encourage you to take time to

thank Him for His sacrifice,

the ultimate sacrifice.

We are so unworthy......
