Luke 9:23 says,"Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

Crucifixion story of our LORD Jesus Christ embodies the most famous and magnificent irony ever recorded in history. Jesus was a carpenter. He spent almost 30 years of his life learning carpentry from his Dad, Joseph and making furniture as a livelihood. He worked with nails, wood and hammer almost everyday (probably got his Bachelor in Architecture by the age of 12). Ironically, Jesus was crucified (for our sins) by the Roman soldiers using the very same tools that he himself uses almost everyday. Likewise, the very people whom He loved were the ones who nailed Him onto the cross.
