The subject of Jesus carrying the cross is something I'm exploring on an on-going basis. While I sharpen my technical skills, it's therapy, because He takes my troubles away with him. It's an act of devotion because it comes from the heart, not the intellect, though the intellect is engaged. I see him as a champion, not a victim. It's so much more than a guy carrying the instrument of His death. He embraced it. It was the culmination of His life's work and turned history on it's head.
