Let us be reminded to daily take up our cross because Jesus says: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross [DAILY], and follow me” (Luke 9:23). “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38).
“For the [PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but [UNTO US WHICH ARE SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:18-19).
