Letting Jesus Carry Your Cross

Row by row of grave markers line Arlington Cemetery, but few at all, see it as the way of the cross....that Jesus himself walks by and asks us to place our grief on his cross and find rest for our souls.

"Surely he has borne our grief," says Isaiah--that is--only if we let him.

We just never think of Jesus carrying our cross--it is always the other way around--"pick up your cross and follow me."  But what if our cross is really his cross--if he carries our lives with him?"  Jesus was clear "to come to me all that are heavy laden and I will give you rest."  What if we took him at his word by laying our grief on his cross--letting it die with him, so that we can live a life like his?  It would take a Savior to do that.
