“And if you don’t carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:27
We are all tested in this life. As Christians we all have our own crosses to carry and heavy loads to bear. We were never promised that our lives would be free of doubt, worry and fear. We were never promised that we would not have mountains to climb and boulders to remove from our walk with Jesus. We are, however, overcomers. Jesus paid the price for us by going to the cross and giving his life for our lives. We, as his children, are owned by him. He paid for us, and we are his possessions. Because we are his children, we are blessed with his promises and gifts. We must, however, believe in them and accept them. Yes, we will have troubles along the way. We will have worry, doubt and fear thrown in our paths. However, we are to overcome those evils and succeed in our ventures as disciples of Christ, by acting upon his promises. Jesus is very clear in letting us know that those troubles are our crosses that we must carry and overcome, just as he carried our sins to the cross and died there so that we could live. Our burdens and our problems are nothing in comparison to what Jesus did for us. So, let us keep our eyes on the cross of Jesus and always remember the sacrifice he made for us. Let us all put our trust and our faith in his actions and his results. We are surrounded by evil, but we are victorious through his cross! PRAISE THE LORD ALWAYS!
