Scripture:
Colossians 3:16b
In the mid 1980’s I was on a business trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and
In
the early 1990’s I was in South Africa traveling by bus from Durban to Cape
Town. As we approached Cape Town we stopped on a mountain top overlooking Cape
Town and took in an incredible panoramic view. The top of this mountain is
called Settlers Way and at the peak is a large cross overlooking the entire
valley. When I saw it I said to myself, “Someone was incredibly inspired by
Jesus to do this.”
Thursday
January 18, 2006 I stood with my friend Glen looking at a huge cross that was
constructed on a farm near Greytown, South Africa. As I viewed the cross I said
to myself, “Someone was incredibly inspired by Jesus to do this.” An hour later
as Angus Buchan prayed for me it began to rain and Jesus healed me from 12 ½
years of excruciating pain in my neck and back.
January
2008 I returned with Glen to the cross on the Buchan farm --- then a few weeks
later stood once again at Settlers Way with my friends Sheff and Athena ---
overlooking Cape Town, South Africa. These two recent experiences impressed on
me, “Something special had been done in my life and I too was incredibly
inspired by Jesus.” That being the case the way to say thank you was to
construct a cross.
A
few weeks ago my friends George, Rick, daughter-in-law Tammie, wife Carol and I
did just that. On Minnesota State Highway 65 at the Intersection of County Road
2 --- five miles south of Mora, Minnesota (Gateway to the North) stands a 24
foot high cross with an 8 foot cross beam.
Thousands
of cars per day now pass this cross as a testimony to what Jesus has done in my
life. And my prayer for all those cars that pass is that each driver will say to
himself as they drive by “Someone was incredibly inspired by Jesus to do this”
and want to know what it is. Thank you Lord.
Prayer:
Father help me to never ever forget what YOUR SON has done for me. In the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
