The Way of the Cross

Jesus is speaking to all of us…

Mark 8:34-38
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

It is our turn. Our turn to do His will in our lives, and cast aside our own. It is is time to listen to Him and head His words of instruction. For the day will come, when we will stand in front of the Father and Creator of this Universe and answer to Him for what our lives have stood for.

Do not let another day pass by without calling out to Him. There is no formal way of doing it. There is no right or wrong way to call for Him. Try this…go find a room by yourself, close the door, lift up your arms to the sky and simply ask God to come into your life. That’s it. He will come into any area that you ask Him to. From there, it is now His responsibility to ensure your success and significance as a Christian.

Amen
