Read Luke 9:23-25

What is your definition of:

Deny Yourself

Take up Your Cross

Follow Me?

Why do you think Jesus used such strong statements to define a follower of His? Luke 9:23

Do the concepts of denying yourself and taking up your cross daily characterize your lifestyle?

Have you become aware of some areas of your life in which you still need to surrender to the Lord? List them and repeat them to the Lord.

Read Mark 1:15

Take time to meditate on the imperatives of repent and believe.
