"We’ve become Christians accustomed to comfort.

Fans eventually find a way to even make the cross comfortable.

They create a comfortable idea of the cross

and what it means for us today to take up our crosses.

So the phrase, “We all have our crosses to bear” gets thrown around loosely,

referring to even the most menial or everyday tasks and inconveniences.

But There is no comfortable way to carry a cross; I don’t care how you position it.”
