Measured by the Yardstick of the Cross

Professional cross-country skier Borge Ousland travelled 1350 kilometers in 44 days on his solo cross-Antarctic trek. “Skiing alone for so long gives you a different perspective on life,” he said. “You learn to measure yourself by a different yardstick.” Jesus, too, on His long lonely trek to Calvary measured Himself by a different yardstick: the cross of Calvary. It is the ultimate measurement of humility, obedience and love. When we truly embrace the cross of Calvary, our perspective on life will be changed forever!
