It was His cross. See, there really is a magnet in that old hunk of wood; a magnet that draws us to the foot of that cross to see how very much He loves us. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2012:2-3&version=NIV 2009-08-04T14:50:26-05:00 The cross of Jesus Christ lies at the heart of everything a Christian does. When we feel overwhelmed, we are to focus our attention on the person of Christ, remembering his sacrifice on the cross. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/When-There-s-Nothing-Left-to-Hold-4805 2008-08-20T11:44:25-05:00 It's a fact of life. We will ultimately lose whatever or whoever we've been hanging onto except for the love of Jesus Christ, poured out on that cross. It's not just a cross. It is the only anchor that will be there when there's nothing else to hold onto.
