"A single day (hour) in Hell will be worse Than a whole life spent Carrying the Cross."
J.C. Ryle
Carrying our Cross doesn't save us, but knowing that Jesus has delivered us from the justice of God by being our substitute in His Active and Passive Obedience and bearing our sins on the cross and bearing the wrath of God for our sins --- means we WILL be unashamed of Him and being unashamed of Him we will gladly proclaim His righteousness and gift --- and we WILL be willing carry the cross of the world's hatred of Jesus. Their hatred of Jesus is seen in the cross they put Him on, and their hatred of Jesus is seen in rejecting those who proclaim Him; Hence they hate Him, they hate us in Him, and therefore we bear the cross of their hatred of Jesus as we proclaim Him.
