Chris.
When I ponder upon the Cross and consider all that Jesus suffered for us, I am truly astounded at what He suffered that we might have New and Eternal Life. In these days of conflict in different parts of the World, we are often called to remember those people who gave up their lives in war. We should always remember what Jesus suffered in order for us to go free.
