Bible Question: when jesus told the rich young ruler in mark to take up his cross and follow him ,what is the man's cross |
Bible Answer: Life-or-death devotion to Christ "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." Matthew 10:38 NASB 'Here is Jesus' first mention of the word "cross" to his disciples. To them it would have evoked a picture of a violent, degrading death. He was demanding total commitment from them--even unto physical death--and making this call to full surrender a part of the message they were to proclaim to others. This same call to life-or-death devotion to Christ is repeated in 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23; 14:27. For those who come to Christ with self-renouncing faith, there will be true and eternal life (v. 39).' Source: MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word Publishing Gracia y paz, John |
