Dead men can’t be offended
Dead men can’t be offended
Mark 8:34–38 (NKJV)
When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
Phil 2:13,

If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances?

The mind of Christ, however, takes up the Cross, loses its life, gains its soul, and glorifies God. Never again can a Christian be confused with a world-ling. They live by conflicting laws and on a different time schedule.

B. Jesus expects Self denial up to Persecution, rejection and all the way up to death for sharing and offering of the gospel, in return for the offer of forgiveness, joy, peace, and eternal life which is so precious, no personal suffering, no personal sacrifice, is enough to turn us back from Jesus.
