“TAKE UP YOUR CROSS”. Final Part : Friday April 6

Matthew 16:24

"Then said Jesus unto His disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

Any believer or follower of Jesus Christ should endeavor to follow HIM unto Glory. As the soldiers come after the captain so do the believers follow Jesus. Troubles we encounter are equal to the cross. Every one of us that is following Jesus have their peculiar crosses.

The cross was not a deterrent for Jesus to obey God. In that sense, no cross should be too heavy for us to hinder our services to God and man. Cross of Jesus proved the way to eternal life. Let your cross prove like that of Jesus. Amen.

Following Jesus is to look unto HIM for both spiritual direction and encouragement in the fellowship of HIS suffering. Self denial and suffering will be difficult if we consult the flesh. Check with Jesus. HE will surely give the best choice than our flesh. Jesus is the way, truth and life. Without the way no moving. Without the truth no knowledge of knowing and without the life, no living. Jesus is the answer. Follow HIM closely to show the way to eternity. Amen.
