Take Up Your Cross

Then  Jesus  said  to  his  disciples,  “Whoever  wants  to  be  my  disciple  must  deny  themselves  and  take  their  cross  and  follow  me.  For  whoever  wants  to  save  their  life  will  lose  it,  but  whoever  loses  their  life  for  me  will  >ind  

it.”    

Matthew  16:24    (NIV)    

Walking  in  the  promise  of  what  could  be  most  times  means  leaving  the  comfort  of  

what  is.    

Will  I  walk  through  the  PAIN  of  obedience  to  experience  the  PROMISE  of  obedience?  

The  PAIN  of  obedience  always  leads  to  the  PROMISE  of  obedience.  

How  do  I  know  what  God  has  called  me  to  obey  him  in?  

   

1.  Look  in  Scripture  2.  Ask  Godly  People  3.  Pay  A>en?on  to  the  Tension  in  your  

Heart.

If  you  love  me,  keep  my  commands.  And  I  will  ask  the  Father,  and  he  will  give  you  another  advocate  to  help  you  and  be  with  you  forever—the  Spirit  of  truth.  The  world  cannot  accept  him,  because  it  neither  sees  him  nor  knows  him.  But  you  know  him,  for  he  lives  with  you  and  will  be  with  you.  I  will  not  leave  you  as  orphans;  I  will  come  to  you.  Before  long,  the  world  will  not  see  me  anymore,  but  you  will  see  me.  Because  I  live,  you  also  will  

live…      

…On  that  day  you  will  realize  that  I  am  in  my  Father,  and  you  are  in  me,  and  I  am  in  you.  

Whoever  has  my  commands  and  keeps  them  is  the  one  who  loves  me.  The  one  who  loves  me  will  be  loved  by  my  Father,  and  I  too  will  love  them  and  

show  myself  to  them.”      

John  14:15-­‐21    (NIV)    

Your  word  is  a  lamp  for  my  feet,  a  light  for  my  path.  

 Psalm  119:105  

 (NIV)

Then  Peter  spoke  up,  “We  have  left  everything  to  follow  you!”  

 “Truly  I  tell  you,”  Jesus  replied,  “no  one  who  has  left  home  or  brother  or  sisters  or  mother  or  father  or  children  or  >ields  for  me  and  the  gospel  will  fail  to  receive  a  hundred  times  as  much  in  this  present  age:  homes,  brothers,  sisters,  mothers,  children  and  >ields-­‐along  with  persecutions-­‐and  in  the  age  to  come  

eternal  life.”    

Mark  10:28-­‐30    (NIV)
