Reading in Matthew 16 this morning and Jesus said that if we want to be His disciple we must deny ourselves and take up our cross. Well to the first-century person, taking up a cross meant death. Living in the US, I wonder how often I really deny myself. We live in a selfish culture. I'm as guilty as anyone. When I drive on Hwy 280 I expect everyone to get off the road for me. I want lines to be smaller. I want what I order to be there yesterday. Do I really deny myself? Do I really die to myself?
