The place of a skull

Joh 19:17 "And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:" The son of God had authority to call all the angels in heaven to his defense. Yet for his passionate unyielding unfathomable unbreakable love for us, he went on bearing his cross. Not for any offense he had done but for us. For our sin. He carried the cross, bore that heavy burden that he might take away the handwriting written against us.He carried the cross to a place called the "skull". The Greek word used is "kran-ee'-on". Called in Hebrew Golgotha meaning in Hebrew "skull". The skull is symbolic of the thoughts and our emotions, our heart, the center of us.The place of this horrendous death and supreme sacrifice was a place of heavy anguish and despair. But it was also a battle of the thoughts. As our fight today is more in our thoughts than outward. Jesus made a way, where there seems to be no way. Doesn't it look sometimes as though we're trapped with no way out? But the battle is won simply when we take confidence off of self and put it all on Jesus and the work he did that day when he carried the cross to his death. What a story of love and mercy. What a God seemingly unobtainable yet he is a friend that is closer than a brother.We need not fear or fret what misery we face but lay it at the feet of the awesome King of kings. Take the Word in our heart, write it there, live it loud.Let the world see Jesus in our conversation, in our actions, and in the way we love each other. Jesus said you will know my disciple's for the love they have one to another. Twice in this verse there is the reference to the "skull" and as I pointed out the skull depicts the thoughts or heart. The real fight is not with our brother or sister or the world but rather it is our own lusts. Our thoughts dictate so much of our destiny. When we have confidence in the God of glory, yield ourselves to him, and to his Word we will have power and victory over our thoughts. If we stay in the Word and rehearse scripture in our minds we can walk in true victory and peace. Because of the work that day, when Jesus carried his cross.
