7. Jesus carries his cross. John 19:17-18

17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

“Jesus Carries the Cross”

My piece of art symbolizes Jesus carrying the old, rugged cross over his shoulders to what would be his journey to his death and a testimony to his Faith in God. He dragged that cross up that hill knowing he had to make the ultimate sacrifice so we might have eternal life.
