The Key To Life

When Jesus calls the disciples to “take up their cross and follow Him”
He was not saying “..it’s all over! Doom and gloom! Down hill from
here!”
No! When Jesus gives them these words in Matthew 16:24 He gives them
the opportunity of a lifetime!
Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.”
The opportunity is to pick up our purpose/calling/mission and takes
steps with Him for all of our days!
