Thematic Bible: Jesus requires self-denial and "crosses,"


Thematic Bible

And calling the multitude to Him with His disciples, He said to them, Whosoever wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his soul for my sake and that of the gospel shall save it.

And He spoke to all, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it; and whosoever may lose his soul for my sake, he shall save it.

For whosoever may be ashamed of me and my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when He may come in His glory, and that of the Father, and that of the holy angels.
