Last night I was working Stations of the Cross at our church. It is a moving tour that highlights the last steps of Christ on his way to the cross.
I was scheduled to work the very first station, Hand Washing, I was working with a gentleman who co-teaches one of the bible study classes we attend.
There were three hand washing stations and the other was attended by a young lady. We must have been there for an hour when the young lady stepped away from her station. The gentleman then asked me "Do you know who that is?" "Yes" I said, "that's *Pastor Jim's daughter.
He said "oh yeah...she sings at church. I didn't know that was his daughter."
It got me to thinking, if people saw me for who I am and who I represent, would they know who my Father is? Would they know that my Father is Jesus Christ based on my language, my manner of dress, my walk? Or would they say "that's His daughter? I would have never guessed!"
Today we acknowledge that day...the day that Christ took that walk to the cross and gave up his life for us.
Today, will others know whose daughter you are?
Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull [which in Aramaic is called Golgotha] There they crucified him, and with him two others-one on each side and Jesus in the middle. John 19:17
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. Mark 15:25
*Fictitious name used for pastor.
