Carrying the Cross

Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus away. Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha). There they nailed him to the cross. (John 19:16-17 NLT)

Today's prayer topics:

• On this Good Friday may we stop to think of why we call it good. It wasn't good for Jesus. He suffered as the sacrificial lamb who redeems us and that is why it is good - for us.
• Pray for our students, staff and faculty to spend some quality time with Jesus over the Easter break to think about how different is the cross we carry compared to the one he bore.
• Pray for safe travels for all who will journey somewhere over the break. 

Never give up unless its praise we give up to God; never give in except to give in to him.
