My Savior, my sins

The following is an excerpt from "The Calvary Road," a wonderful little book written by Roy Hession in 1950:
"A saintly African Christian told a congregation once that, as he was climbing the hill to the meeting, he heard steps behind him. He turned and saw a man carrying a very heavy load up the hill on his back. He was full of sympathy for him and spoke to him. Then he noticed that His hands were scarred, and he realized it was Jesus. He said to him, "Lord, are you carrying the sins of the world up that hill?"
"No," said the Lord Jesus, "not the world's sins, just yours!"
As that African simply told the vision God has just given him, the people's hearts and his heart were broken as they saw their sins at the cross. Our hearts need to be broken, too, and only when they are shall we be willing for the confessions, the apologies, the reconciliations and the restitutions that are involved in a true repentance of sin."
