The Glory of the Cross

When Jesus came to earth as a baby, the inn had no room. And people today still refuse to make room for Him in their hearts.

What about you? Will you make room for Him?

. . . He becomes the center of life for the Christian, where the mind, heart, soul,
and body are focused on the glory of Christ.

Are you willing? He seeks and saves those lost in sin (Luke 19:10). They exchange living in sin for living in Christ. Do you hear His voice? If so, that is the Holy Spirit speaking to you.

You may listen to many voices that tell you what it means to be a Christian, but here is what Jesus said:

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And

he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And

he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake

will find it. (Matthew 10:37–39)

These are hard words, aren’t they? The crowds who followed Jesus thought they were hard as well. But taking up His cross means identifying with Jesus's suffering and accepting his lordship. This is the glory of the cross.
