TAKE UP YOUR CROSS

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Matthew 16:24

Too often we get it wrong. We think of our cross only as an onerous, bitter burden.

The cross is what Jesus was sent to earth to do. Our cross is what He has put us on earth to do--which is the ultimate privilege.

Jesus carried His cross looking toward the joy that was set before Him.

We should, too.
