What Does it Really Mean to Take Up Our Cross? Dr. Roger Barrier Preach It, Teach It 2021 2 Feb
Dear Roger,
I’m puzzled. When Jesus said that we are to take up our cross and follow Him, what did He mean? What is the cross, and what does it look like?
Sincerely, Alicia
“If any man come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”
When He refers to “the cross,” He isn’t talking about the literal cross He carried to Calvary. He’s talking about the tools, experiences, and teaching God uses to shape us to look like Jesus.
