The Cross in our Lives

In the wilderness Satan temped Jesus to prove who He is. On the Cross the mob threw the same temptation at Him, “Come down and save yourself.” The mob will always shout that at us, and even our friends, as Peter to Jesus, will seek to spare us from the cross – “Come down” they all say. 

A good friend, a good brother or sister, is the person who will watch with us in our agony – knowing that Easter is coming.
