Our Scripture reading today is John 19:17-18.
 
Verse 17, "And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:"
 
The agony of Calvary is on display in our verses this morning.  After having been beaten beyond what most human beings could take, the Lord Jesus carries His cross.  He is bloodied and battered and making His way to Golgotha. The moment Jesus Christ came to earth for is about to take place.  He will lay down His life to be the sacrifice for the sins of all mankind.  What a walk this must have been.  Imagine all that was going through His mind as the pain I'm sure was increasing.  There was physical, emotional and spiritual pain.  All endured for you and me.  Jesus took it all on Him so we could be God's child.  Oh! What a Saviour!
