We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. John Chapter 19, Verses 23 to 24 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic.

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. Psalm 38, Verses 4 to 9 For my iniquities have gone over my head;they weigh like a burden too heavy for me.My wounds grow foul and festerbecause of my foolishness,I am utterly bowed down and prostrate;all the day I go about mourning.For my loins are filled with burning,and there is no soundness in my flesh.I am utterly spent and crushed;I groan because of the tumult of my heart.Lord, all my longing is known to thee,my sighing is not hidden from thee.My heart throbs, my strength fails me;and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague,and my kinsmen stand afar off.Those who seek my life lay their snares,those who seek my hurt speak of ruin,and meditate treachery all the day long.But I am like a deaf man, I do not hear,like a dumb man who does not open his mouth.Yea, I am like a man who does not hear,and in whose mouth are no rebukes.But for thee, O Lord, do I wait;it is thou, O Lord my God, who wilt answer.For I pray, “Only let them not rejoice over me,who boast against me when my foot slips!”

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. Luke Chapter 23 Verses 27 to 31 And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning to them said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck!’ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us’; and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. Romans Chapter 8 Verses 31 to 32 and verses 38 to 39 If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?...For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. Isaiah, Chapter 53, Verse 2-3 He had no form or comeliness that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.

So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha.
