when i was just about to get to know Jesus a guy came and he told me a story about the cross, he only told me once and i was so touched by what he said i could not get the story out of my head it was a blessing to me and i hope it will be a blessing to you. it will encourage you to carry the cross with all cost because at the end there is a great reward for you. no matter how hard it might seem or difficult dont let go of that cross because, it was at the cross where our sins were washed away.


there was three guys sitting on the corner doing their usually stuff like chatting, they were looking for jobs but they could not find any so they sit on the corner of the flat every single day with out fail. a man happen to walk buy he saw so these guys sitting on the corner and he gave them a usually to make.

he said them i got three crosses i want you to carry these crosses for me and at the end you will be in paradise, you will have everything that you every wanted and even more, so the guys discussed amongst themselves and said yes we would so the man gave them the crosses.

they asked the man how far must we walk to carry these crosses, he said not right here. so these guys were carrying the crosses far and far the crosses where heavy they were getting tired the were keep asking the man how far do we have to go, and the man kept n saying not that far.

one of the guys that were carry the cross was so tired he stopped and he said that he is not carrying this cross anymore, the man said are you sure because if you dont carry the cross you would not see paradise he said i know but this cross to heavy for me to bear i cant take it anymore but he tanged along with the rest of the guys to see if there is a paradise.

the other two guys kept on carry their cross they were getting tired and tired every step that they took they wanted to let the cross go but they thought about paradise so they carried on but one of the guys got tired and he said wait i cant take it anymore i am not going to throw the cross away or even put it down but i am going to cut it so it can fit around my neck i will make it a chain but i will still carry the cross.

the other guy carried on carry his cross he said he is not letting this cross go because its what he lives for, he kept on going on and on the others were laughing at him telling him to put down the cross but he kept on moving and carrying on.

he saw something that look lovely that was the best thing he has ever seen in his whole life, the man said what you are looking at is paradise you can now go but the usually thing you must do is go cross a bridge, so all of them were excited the other guys said hey we are going to paradise.

but there was a problem the was nothing for them to go across but the only thing they could go across with was the cross and only one of them had a cross the rest of them did not have, the man said you can now go into paradise just lay your cross down and you are there he was excited he went to lay his cross and was over but his friend had no cross to lay over because the one let the cross down and the other one was wearing the cross, so they could not put it over, so they guy that was across said you can come on my cross but the man said no he cannot you have to go on your own cross so those guys that never carry the cross can not see paradise only he that carried the cross.

this is something to think of :embarasse
 
"one let the cross down, and the other one was [only] wearing the cross, so they could not cross over"

I thought that was a pretty awesome portrayal of truth!

Thank you for sharing! Blessings
 
thanks

i know many people today they wear the cross some put it down and some carry it and you can choose what category you want fall in i would choose the one that carried the cross, even though his friends laughed at him and made fun of him he still carried on.

if today in our christian walk many people make fun of you tease you because you are serving christ but we choose not to throw away the cross but to carry it and that what christ want us to do carry the cross at all times no matter the cost.

GOD BLESS YOU:love:
 
That was great, I don't wear crosses, but my daily trails and tribulations is the cross I must bare, for he gave his life so we can be free, free from the cross that represent death that we may have life.

The cross is also used in the secular world, so I find it very hard to ware anything with a cross, cuz I don't want to be a part taker of the world.
and also ,


Exodus 20:3-6
3 "You shall have no other gods before [a] me.
4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.
