“Save thyself, and come down from the cross.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭15:30‬ ‭KJV‬‬
These were the words said by the mocking crowd as Jesus hung upon the cross. But if He had come down, then we would have no salvation. Today the cry of modern religion is very similar. “Away with the cross!” they say. But Jesus said we must take up our cross and follow Him. And unless we bear that cross, there is no salvation for us. No cross means no crown.
