What did the Lord mean when He said we should take up our cross daily and follow Him?  What is the purpose of a cross?  Did you know that a cross is for the purpose of dying?

The Christian’s cross is for the purpose of dying to self.  Having trouble obeying God’s word?  The flip side to the coin of obedience is death…….dying to self.  The song writer put it this way; “Not my will but thine Lord,…..lead me to Calvary.”

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Gal. 2:20
