A man was climbing a mountain on his way to worship at the mountaintop chapel. Steep was the climb and with great effort he made each step. Looking over his shoulder, he noticed another man coming along the same path just behind him. The man carried a large burden on his shoulder.
Turning around he thought to assist the man would be the “Christian” thing to do. As he looked into the face of the man carrying the burden, he was surprised to see that it was Jesus!
“Are you carrying the sins of the world in this great bundle?” he asked with sympathy and concern.
“No,” said Jesus, “Only yours!”
This man went to church that day with a new found understanding of the burden of sin that had sent Jesus to the cross. His sins were all that mattered. What about you?
