I've got a question for you nice folks here. The pastor at my church back home is asking if people want to carry large wooden crosses on their backs (as Jesus did) and walk around the church several times near the street so as to be a witness to passersby.
My question is: is this Biblical at all? Or does this just fall under the realm of being plain silly? It seems silly to me and is causing our family some strife because some of us say that it's important to do so to put ourselves in Jesus' shoes but others of us just find it unnecessary and carrying the cross to be more a spiritual thing than a physical outward act.
What are your thoughts?
