Take Up Your Cross

Matthew 16:21-28 - From then on Jesus began to point out to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day.  Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, “Oh no, Lord! This will never happen to you!” Jesus turned and told Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns[b] but human concerns.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will find it.  For what will it benefit someone if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will anyone give in exchange for his life?  For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each according to what he has done.  Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

    Broken
    Series: (All)
    The Hebrew word for broken in Psalm 34:18 is better understood as destroyed. Like a ship being torn in two from bow to stern rendering it decimated and sinking. This type of brokenness leaves one without hope, helpless, and maybe even considering death as the only way out. The good news of our Lord, is that He "is near to those who have a broken heart." If you have accepted Christ, the Holy Spirit lives inside of you and according to Romans 8:26, 27, "He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
