We don’t often stop to wonder where that cross came from, do we? Rough timber, that’s what we think of. Timber formed into a device of death. But the wood?

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
[Galatians 2:20]

“It is the Spirit who gives Life, … the words that I speak to you are Spirit,
and they are Life.”
