Then JESUS said to HIS disciples, “If anyone desires to come after ME, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow ME. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for MY sake will find it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If we desire to follow JESUS, we must understand that there is a cross to bear! This is much deeper than having your “Jesus Piece” around your neck! This is the truth about having “JESUS Peace in your heart”. Because when we decide to follow JESUS we must carry our cross. HIS Word says take up your cross . . . not bling it around your neck! This means when we want to do what the world says is safe and comfortable, we must remember the cross that we picked up! Our cross is to remind us that sometimes we will be crucified on our jobs, in our homes . . . and yes . . . sometimes by the church! But JESUS is telling us that if we lose our lives for HIS sake, we are more than conquers in HIS eyes.
Have You Decided To Follow JESUS! Have You Picked Up Your Cross!
