I’m going there and I’m coming back again - The Cross as Trophy

Jesus is the answer. He said, I am the way I am The truth and the life would echo in the minds and hearts of Christians for 20 centuries. As true today as they were when Jesus first spoke them, He made it very clear to them, You want to get out of here, you want to go to heaven, you've got to go through me.

No one comes to the father except through me, and He is the way that will lead us home. Jesus is the way that will lead us to happiness. Jesus is the way that will lead us out of darkness, into light and from death to new life. But we must go the way He leads us. And that way, truth in life does indeed include Calvary.

Jesus had to bear his cross. He had to suffer that we might be set free. And He said, Whoever would be my disciple must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me every day, wherever He leads us and we have our own crosses to bear. There are many. They are heavy and the way forward is unclear and full of obstacles.

But when all seem lost, Jesus was preparing for his greatest victory. He will do the same with us. And in us. And for us. And through us. If only we can trusted him not only in the light, but especially when it's dark.
