Christ and the Cross



If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.
Mary Pickford, 1892-1979 

Do you suppose it is true that when Jesus carried his own cross in John's Gospel, that he was carrying us as well?  Do you suppose that our own lives weighed down to the ground with failure--and those never attempted--were carried, are still carried by Jesus?  If so, and by our faith, do we finally realize what Jesus meant when he said that his yoke was light?  Because after all--he still carries us.
