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.

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)
