1 | why do we sin when sin has no mastery? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 80842 | ||
EdB, Perhaps people are thinking of Luke 9:23 where Jesus spoke of His followers having to "deny" himself and take up his cross daily." And in the KJV 1 Cor 15:31 Paul says: "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our lord, I die daily." I think it is safe to say that Paul after his conversion was a follower of Christ and obeyed this command. See also Matt 10:38; Luke 14:27 Sometimes what Jesus said gets lost in all the hubub over Paul. Emmaus |

Emmaus Thanks for your thoughts on this. Yes your right we do have to deny ourselves and take up the cross daily. In 1 Cor 15:31 Paul does say he dies daily but in context he is talking in reference to religious persecution. However Paul is saying he has to control the flesh rather than react to those that persecute him, so the meaning is there. Your absolutely right about Jesus getting lost in all the hubub whether over Paul, which Bible we carry, or which church we attend. Thanks again my brother EdB |
