Oh! Jesus my suffering Saviour
Tis to You I bend my knee in adoration,
Could I suffer as You did on a tree?
Hands and feet pieced by holding nails.
Oh! just the thought of the pain
Sends my mind a reeling in anguish,
Never let me forget that torment
Nor the awesomeness of Your gift.
Upon my lips Your praise does flow
With gratitude I walk each day,
What ever things I must suffer
Let me accept freely as You did.

WHAT IS THE CROSS I BEAR?
By Frank E. Henrich
Dec. 1, 1978
God clothes His light in earthen vessels (you and me).
It is these earthen vessels that men and women of worldly interests attack, not God's light. How is this?
Worldly people attack the person saying he is not intelligent, stupid and simple to believe in what
he cannot see. They need an excuse for not becoming like you. For they know that for them to become like you they
will have to eliminate the passion of their habitual sin.
As a result
they are choosing evil because of fear of loss of pride and acceptance - - fear that others might say they are stupid, etc
- - one fears, another fears, etc. - - is how the system functions. So they attack verbally the one thing they can attack.
The earthen vessel (you and I) that holds the Light of Jesus Christ - - the key to heaven, - - a new nature filled with love
and peace - - only given to us by declaring Jesus our Savior is our-light. It is better they attack us than God.
It is part of the cross we bear. We carry the Light of Jesus Christ forward
into darkness (evil) daily depending on faith and trust in Jesus Christ. The crosses we bear are the performing of
little acts day by day, moment by moment that glorify You my God regardless of what can mankind thinks. So wonder no more
why some hate you but let your light shine. So wonder no more why some hate you and let your light shine. Read Matthew 16:24-27
and Galatians 2:20.
JESUS'
SUFFERING FORETOLD IN PSALM 22
14 I am poured out like water,
and my bones are out
of joint;
my heart is like wax,
it is melted within my breast;
15 my strength is dried up like a
potsherd,
and my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
thou doest lay me in the dust of death.
16 Yea, dogs are round about me;
a company of evildoers
encircle me;
they have pierced my hands and feet.
17 I can count all my bones,
They stare
and gloat over me;
18 they divide my garments among them,
and for my raiment they cast lots.

ATONEMENT ON THE CROSS WASHED AWAY OUR SINS BY JESUS CRUCIFIED IN BLOOD SACRIFICE
From the Bible: Old Testament: Ecclesiastes
Chapter 3 Verses 1 through 13. “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under Heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a
time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
A time to
embrace and a time to refrain,
A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time
to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be silent and a time to speak,
A
time to love and a time to hate,
A time for war and a time for peace.
What does the worker
gain from his toil? I have seen the burden
God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in
its time.
He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they can not
Fathom what God has done
from the beginning to the end.
I know there is nothing better for man than to be happy and to do
Good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink and find
Satisfaction in their toil, for this is the gift of God.”
When I am old and weary I will look on this medieval image of the crucificion of Jesus, seeing Jesue suffering and ask
the question why do I suffer As I read this Christian free poem, is it necessary that I suffer?
