The Calvary Road

Last week I was challenged reading Roy Bession's book - The Calvary Road.

One quote from this book: "A saintly African Christian once told a congregation that as he was climbing the hill to the meeting he heard steps behind him. He turned and saw a man carrying a very heavy load up the hill on his back. He was full of sympathy for him and spoke to him. Then he noticed that His hands were scarred, and he realised that it was Jesus. He said to him, 'Lord, are you carrying the world's sin up the hill?' 'No,' said the Lord Jesus, not the world's sin, just yours!' As that African simply told the vision that God had given him, the people's hearts and his heart were broken as they saw their sins at the cross."

This book pointed out that I as a Christian am often satisfied with my life and the sin in it. Instead I should be dying to self and living for Christ.
