Mike Grushon from the West Carrollton congregation joins us again today, sharing the 2nd part to his previous lesson entitled, “Take Up Your Cross”. Today Mike begins with what a “cross” is that Jesus tells them to take up and follow Him.
Looking at figures of speech, we know the cross can be a symbol to wear or to be depicted in paintings or drawings or images. However, it IS an important Christian symbol, even if you feel you should not wear it as a “graven image”.
Jesus’ own disciples had no idea that he would die on a cross! Not until they saw it.
Contrary to what we often see some people do, in carring a wooden cross around, our cross is to be Jesus disciple. Being responsible, leading a godly life, and putting confidence in Jesus. You can do this and so can I!
See what Mike has to say about this topic by listening to his lesson below and following his 4 slides in our gallery page.
