Good Words for Today: March 2

The road to heaven always goes by way of the cross. If you skip the cross, you’ll end up missing heaven too. A. B. Bruce pointed out that “if crosses would leave us alone, we would leave them alone, too.” But the cross of Christ will never leave us alone. It stands at the center of our faith. Take the cross out of Christianity and you’ve taken Jesus out as well. We are called to follow Jesus, and that means denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and following him wherever he leads.
