O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

We hear much of death with dignity these days. Our Lord's death was anything but dignified. . . . Some people today prefer not to be called Christians. They tell reporters that this word has too much "baggage." Imagine the baggage -- the weight of all the sins of the world -- that Jesus carried along with that rugged cross. Being called Christian is our greatest hope. Being despised for His sake is our greatest honor. Tony Perkins, FRC
