An industrial chaplain was talking to some men doing a crossword. “Do you know any cross words?” he asked. They looked puzzled but then stretching out his hands he said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” [Luke 23:34] These were words spoken by Jesus on the cross.
A Royal Corps of Signals picture depicts a World War II signaller who had died repairing a telegraph wire snapped by shellfire. The two ends were together in his dead hands and underneath was the one word, “Through!” If your life’s a puzzle, the ‘cross words’ of Christ can solve it and you’ll be “Through” to God.
