Who gets to carry your cross?
Who gets to carry your cross? What exactly do the words of Jesus, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me” mean? Our willingness to surrender ourselves on our personal cross and follow Jesus is to endure without complaint and bear the reproach of men with patience and humility. To carry our cross is to reject the world in favor of Jesus, to draw closer to Him and will remind us daily of the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior for our sins.
