*DAILY DEW 12TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (I) _Key Bible Text:_ *Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.* (Mark 10:21 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *What did Jesus mean when He said we have to carry a cross? I've heard people talk about a problem they have and say it's a cross they have to bear, but is this what Jesus meant?* This question forced me to go into a search of the meaning of the cross. What does the cross of Christ really represent? I strongly perceive that an immediate answer could be given. Some have said that the cross of Christ is not a problem in peoples lives. I recall a dear friend and I was speaking and he said, some people will marry and end up saying their partners have become their cross they have to bear. Well, could that be what the cross really is? I would think the answer depends. A problem can be a part of the cross of Christ in the life of a believer or just a problem that must nevertheless be dealt with in the way of the cross. What does that mean? It means in the selfless, Christ glorifying way that would ultimately bring glory to God. Now that we have gotten a short answer to our question, we need to have a long answer as well. For the long answer it will be necessary to use this opportunity to explore the meaning of the cross of christ so we can further understand and live in the way of the cross of Christ. And this, we shall do if Christ permits. *MEDITATION* *You could be wrong about a lot of things, but if you are wrong about the cross, you are in trouble.* --Paul Washer *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Sunday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Supernatural_Release* *#Hello_September* ❤ Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-way-of-cross-i.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
