Find Comfort in Clinging to the Cross of Jesus
The only good thing about bad times is that when life isn't going so well, we tend to return to our spiritual roots. For Christians, the root of our faith lies in the cross of Calvary, the old rugged cross, the cross upon which Jesus died. Of course it was not His death but His resurrection that matters to us and our salvation, but if not for the cross, we would be lost.
When times get tough, Christians cling to the cross. What better way to cling to the cross than to have a cross to hold in our hands, a cross to provide comfort and consolation. Browse this page to find holding crosses, crosses you can cling to, and more to bring comfort in trying times.
This "I Asked Jesus" art print is available from allposters.com.
I Asked Jesus,
"How much do you love me?"
"This much," he answered.
Then he stretched out his arms and died.
