Bronze sculpture by Angela Johnson of the Savior carrying His cross toward Calvary in an outdoor setting trees in the background

Because of Love

Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

Matthew 16:24

Inspired by Matthew 16:24

The Savior bears His cross toward Calvary, carrying the weight of the world's sins upon Himself. He goes willingly, and He goes because of love.

“So many times I look at my depiction of Jesus carrying the cross. I am painfully aware that my sins were part of the weight he had to bear.

It constantly reminds me to humble myself and move away from arrogance and pride.”
