Dying to Live

September 21, 2020 by Tim Sherfy

Disciples of Jesus know they must take up their cross daily. But do you understand what that means? No one survives the cross. Not even the physical body of Jesus. The cross is an unequivocal representation of death. To pick up our cross daily necessitates that we die each day. Every day we must completely surrender what we want to do. All our hopes, dreams and ambitions are dead to us. Every relationship is dead. The cross spares nothing.
