Take Me to the Cross
Illustration★★★★It has been said that the geographical center of the city of London is Charing Cross. It is in the form of a cross; you can find your way anywhere in London if you are at Charing Cross. The story is old of a little boy who was lost. A bobby came along and wiped away his tears. When he had gotten him settled, he said, “Can I take you home, son?” The boy replied, “Oh, no sir, take me to the cross, and I’ll find my way home.”
The point
A lost boy in London finds his way home using Charing Cross as his bearings; like him, we find our way through life by keeping our direction toward the Cross of Christ. A clear metaphor for spiritual navigation.
