AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 8:34 ¶ Jesus called the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, "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: deny himself, and take up his cross |
Bible Note: Dear Doc, I appreciate the added commentary, and verses, though I don't think I missed Searchers meaning. Perhaps I should have expounded a bit more. That's very interesting about Kempis by the way, Though it doesn't surprise me that the Romanists messed up on their doctrine, and don't understand who or what a saint is. Maybe I should have checked it out with them, before I picked out my username. :-) John |
