In Luke 9, to be a follower of Jesus - Jesus said, "to take up your cross and follow Him." In Jesus' day, the cross was an object the Romans used to torture and crucify the evilest of criminals. This message looks at the cost in following Jesus.
"Taking up my cross means a life voluntarily surrendered to God." A.W. Pink
