“For the message of the cross is
foolishness to those who are
perishing, but to us who are
being saved it is the power of
God.”
(1 Corinthians 1:18)
“Greater love has no one than
this, that someone lay down his
life for his friends.”
(John 15:13)
“Christ redeemed us from the curse
of the law by becoming a curse for us
—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone
who is hanged on a tree…”
(Galatians 3:13)
“He was despised and rejected by
men…”
(Isaiah 53.3)
“He saved others,” they said, “but he
can’t save himself! He’s the king of
Israel! Let him come down now from
the cross, and we will believe in him.”
(Matthew 27.42)
“Whoever does not take up their
cross and follow me is not worthy of
me.”
(Matthew 10.38)

Or do you BEAR IT?
