Cross

The cross. The cross must be borne, carried; we are not at liberty to step over it, or go round to avoid it. Richard Baxter

 

Then said Jesus unto His disciples, 'If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me (Matthew 16:24).

 

A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle, to the glory of God: Lift High the Cross: 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim, till all the world adore his sacred name (George W. Kitchin, 1887).
