The Cross

I woke and realized it was a dream,

and no ordinary dream it was.

A huge Cross stood into the heavens, 

around it were people each carrying a tiny cross.

A light shone from the Heavens, and I heard a 

voice:

" Lift up your cross to the Huge Cross"

No one in the crowd stirred,

everyone stood still, each deep in thought.

With a smile, I tried to lift up my tiny cross, 

I realized that it was heavy and made of silver.

For three years, I pondered about the dream.

Then the Lord gave me an insight and I no more

worry.

The Huge Cross is Christ on Calvary,

It was there that the Lamb paid the Price;

a heavy Price by a Perfect Sacrifice.

It was not an easy ordeal,

for He suffered shame and humiliation;

He was mocked and scourged,

Pain, Horror, Anguished, mere words cannot describe it.

The more I think of it, the more I feel His pain.

In anguish, He cried to His Father,

It was not a cry of defeat.

Rather, it was a cry of Victory!

His cry rings out into the Heavens!

it echoes down into the earth below.

Graves were opened, and death was conquered!

Victory, Victory, Victory!

There is Life beyond the Cross!

As I stand beneath the Cross, I see clearly God's Love.

I have been saved only through the Cross of Jesus.

For God so loves me, that He gave His Son

to give me new life through His death on the Cross!

Hail!, all hail the Risen Christ!

Hail Him who has overcome the world!

Hail Him in His New Glorifies Body!

Glory to the Father, who is Faithful in all His Promises,

Even to Raising His Son Jesus from the Dead!

Glory and Honor to the Healing Cross!

Looking back and pondering on the Scripture: " I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). There is no easier way. The only way is the Cross. If we are the first to go through this way, we may be excused if we are tempted to consider it an impossibility. But we have a cloud of witnesses that have gone this way before us. There is no shorter way to go to Heaven than the Cross. 

If Jesus is the light of the world, then we need to follow Him. "I am the light of the world; who ever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)
