Bearing a Cross???
Jesus explains
“I must die
on the cross...”
Peter take him aside
rebukes Jesus.
“How dare you…?”
You will be a king...
Not abused as criminal....
So it is today,
all of God’s people
expect only blessings.
We pray for blessings.
We preach about blessings.
We say: God Bless You.
All to the point,
blessings are expected
practically demanded.
Now,
when we don’t get
what we want
when we want
throw tantrum
like 2 year old
at the store.
Many people today,
just like Peter
ready to reprimand God
when they are not blessed!
But,
what does Jesus say?
Jesus says,
you don’t want
what is best for God
only yourself!
And so it is today,
we all want,
what we want,
expecting that
God should want that too.
We see so little
willing sacrifices
time
money
energy
pain
blood
sweat
tears.
All are sitting
on their hands
waiting for blessings.
Jesus said,
Get behind Me, Satan, because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s!”
The point is
sometimes it is
God’s plan to allow
pain and suffering.
We don’t like to hear that.
You talk to
the sick,
the suffering
the depressed
the offended
the grieving
all seem convinced
It is God’s plan to
heal and bring
temporal happiness.
According to this passage
that is not always the
case in reality!
Jesus goes on,
calling entire crowd
He want to make
important point
for those who choose
to follow Him.
He says,
pay attention everyone
all of you who
want to follow me:
If you want to be
my disciple
this is what
it will look like:
he must deny himself, h take up his cross, i and follow Me
This is the criteria
for being Christian.
By a show of hand,
who claims to be
a Christian?
Okay,
Christ says,
this is where the
rubber meets the road;
If you are truly
a Christian,
you will be self denying
take up your cross
