AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 16:24 ¶ Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. |
Subject: Are you His disciple? |
Bible Note: Well Searcher, I follow Him with all I am and all I can. So since I'm still living, I guess I haven't had the opportunity to bear my cross yet, if I must die to do that. So His disciples didn't bear theirs until they died as well. When you read the Scripture in Luke, are we supposed to die every day? Can you explain how that is done? Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. WOS |
