Scripture Spotlight (VOP Faith For Today) L29 | Take Up Your Cross: Why a Cross?

That then begs the question how the cross has been transformed from this image of disdain and shame, to that of salvation and redemption. Pr Siyamthanda Mqhayisa speaks to how this unusual request to take up crosses is the greatest invite we can receive.
