Hello Mack, The teaching of Christ here is that of denial and suffering in complete dependence and obedience. That is, denial of self and the suffering that comes as a result of following Christ. As a man on earth, Christ was the chief example of this. Having nothing to do with His own will, but only that of His Father (John 5:30). Enduring the sufferings of this world by denying what would convenience and save His flesh and instead yielding to the Father's will even in suffering, even the suffering of the Cross (Matt. 26:39). If we are to truly be followers of Christ, we must "take up our cross" daily; minute by minute, resisting the flesh and the call of this world in exchange for doing the will of our Father as the Spirit gives us the power to do so (John 8:12,10:4,10:27,12:26,). Hope this helps, God Bless, Jeff |
