Man carrying cross on 11E in Jefferson City
Jesus you must take up your cross daily. Some people still want to protest a powerful message by carrying a big cross along the highways of towns.
That what this day did on Saturday before Easter of 2024. I didn’t get to stop to ask ask his name, just to get a picture. If you know him, please let me know, so I can place it here.
I am not sure where he started or finished. I was approaching almost to Chuckey Pike area of 11E (Just before Pal’s & Bonjangles). He was heading East, if he stayed on that Highway it would take you into Morristown).
I have had the chance to see and/or hear about others carrying crosses in towns:
Guy carrying cross (2023)
Woman Chooses Life After Seeing Man Carrying Cross (2019)
Marine Corp Veteran Carries Cross 12 Miles (2019)
Stolen Cross from Mitchel Manning, Man Walking Across America (2016)
The Journey – Deny Yourself and Take Up Your Cross (2012 — I did get to stop and talk to this guy)
This cross carrying also used wheels like others have done. Doing this could be a big witness and open the door for people to stop and talk to the person which could lead to witnessing.
And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”
Luke 9:23 NASB1995
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.”
Mark 8:34 NASB1995

Why did he have wheels on it ? Surely if he did it properly he shouldnt have wheels on it
I didn’t get to talk to him, but some do it as makes it easier to track and doesn’t damage the road or ground.
