Carrying Your Cross Daily

“Carrying Your Cross Daily”

Why is it that so many believers are struggling to live victorious lives? Because they are leaving the cross at the benediction. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24) He didn’t say that you are to pick up your cross and then set it back down.

This is an ongoing identification as Paul pointed out in 1 Corinthians 15:31 where he said, “I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.” The cross represents the connection to and identification with Jesus Christ and the purpose of His life, death, burial and resurrection. It is acknowledgment of total dependency on Christ and recognition of our sin.

Jesus wants to be more important to you than your own comforts. He says in Matthew 16:24, “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.” You must carry your cross, not Jesus’ cross.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, like Paul – I die daily. I choose to set down my own personal will, desires, ambitions, goals and needs. Only You know what is truly a need in my life. I choose to trust You by picking up my cross daily in identifying with the surrender of Jesus Christ to Your rule and authority as King. In Christ’s name, amen.
