Ada 3 orang; A, B ,dan C di beri tugas oleh Tuhan untuk memikul salib yang sama besar dan sangat berat menuju puncak sebuah bukit. Di sana Tuhan berjanji akan menjemput mereka ke Surga. Di tengah jalan ketiga orang itu melihat sebuah gergaji, si B mulai berpikir dan menghasut kedua temannya untuk memotong salib mereka supaya salib itu menjadi ringan.
Namun kedua temannya tidak menuruti usul si B karena mereka taat dan mengasihi Tuhan.
Kasih mereka kepada Tuhan membuat mereka mau dan rela memikul tanggung jawab yang Tuhan sudah berikan tanpa keluhan.
Singkat cerita si B memotong salibnya, sehingga dengan mudah ia mendahului kedua temannya. Sampai dipuncak bukit, si B melihat sebuah jurang yang teramat lebar memisahkan puncak bukit itu dengan gerbang Surga. Di seberang jurang terlihat malaikat Tuhan yang sudah menanti kedatangan mereka.
Dengan bersemangat si B menanyakan jalan mana yang bisa dipakainya untuk sampai ke gerbang Surga, tapi malaikat Tuhan itu menjawab, "Tuhan sudah sediakan jalan itu".
Si B sangat bingung karena dia sama sekali tidak melihat jalan yang dimaksud sang malaikat Tuhan.
Beberapa saat kemudian, si A dan C tiba di puncak bukit tersebut.
Seperti halnya si B, mereka bertanya tentang jalan ke seberang pada malaikat Tuhan, mereka mendapatkan jawaban yang sama, "Tuhan sudah menyediakan jalan itu".
Kemudian Roh Kudus bukakan pikiran mereka berdua dan mereka mengerti sesuatu, ukuran salib yang berat dan besar itu sudah Tuhan buat tepat sama dengan jarak antara puncak bukit dan terbang Surga, itulah jalan yang Tuhan sudah sediakan.
Mereka segera sadar akan hal itu dan bergegas meletakkan salib mereka dan mulai menyeberang. Si B kebingungan karena salib yang Tuhan beri untuk dia sudah dia potong hingga tidak bisa berfungsi sebagai jembatan. Namun dipikirnya dia dapat meminjam salib A atau C untuk menyeberang. Tapi sungguh kasihan, begitu A dan C selesai menyeberang dengan salib mereka, salib itu tiba-tiba menghilang, itu berarti si B tidak dapat menyeberang ke pintu Surga.....
Dari ilustrasi ini, ditunjukkan bahwa seringkali kita menganggap Tuhan begitu kejam mengijinkan "salib" itu ada dalam hidup kita, kita juga sering mengeluh karena sepertinya pemrosesan (yang pahit) itu tidak kunjung selesai. Akibatnya kita terlalu sering mencari jalan keluar sendiri dan tidak mau taat pada Tuhan, sehingga memotong salib yang seharusnya kita pikul. Namun, justru "salib" itulah yang akan menolong kita mengerti akan kasih Tuhan pada kita.
Ia ijinkan kita mengalami pemrosesan yang sulit supaya kita menjadi semakin sempurna.
MARKUS 8:34 "Lalu Yesus memanggil orang banyak dan murid-murid-Nya dan berkata kepada mereka: "Setiap orang yang mau mengikut Aku, ia harus menyangkal dirinya, memikul salibnya dan mengikut Aku."

English Version
Cross,
There are 3 people; A, B, and C in the given task by God to carry the cross of the same size and very heavy towards the top of a hill. There, God promised to meet them to Heaven. In the middle of the street three men saw a saw, person B started to think and to incite the other two cross cutting them to cross into light.
But the other two proposals do not comply with the B because they are obedient and loving God.
Their love for God makes them want to and willing to take responsibility that God has given without complaint.
Long story short the B cut his cross, so he was easily ahead of two friends. Reached the top of the hill, the B saw a very wide gap that separates the top of the hill to the gates of Heaven. Across the gulf seen an angel of God who was waiting their arrival.
Person B excitedly asked which way to put in to get to the gates of Heaven, but the angel of the Lord answered, "God had already prepared the way".
Person B is very upset because she did not see the road is the angel of the Lord.
A few moments later, the A and C arrive at the top of the hill.
Like the B, they were asked about the way across the angel of the Lord, they get the same answer, "God has provided a way that".
Then the Holy Spirit opened their minds together and they understand something, the size of the cross is heavy and it was God's great for exactly the same as the distance between the top of the hill and fly Heaven, that's the way God has provided.
They soon realized that and they rushed to put the cross and began to cross. The B confusion because of the cross which God gave to him was he could not cut to serve as a bridge. But she thinks she can borrow the cross A or C to cross. But really sorry, so A and C completed their crossing with the cross, the cross suddenly disappear, it means that person B can not cross to the door of heaven .....
From this illustration, shown that we often think of God so cruel to allow "cross" it is in our lives, we also often complain that seemed processing (bitter) was not finished. As a result we too often find their own solutions and do not want to obey God, thereby cutting off the cross we should bear. However, it was "cross" that will help us understand the love of God to us.
He allowed us through a difficult process so that we become more perfect.
MARKUS 8:34 "Then Jesus called the crowds and the disciples to him and said to them:" Every person who would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
God Bless us...
