~ The cross of Christ will take an ax to the very root of self!
~ We cannot have a revived heart outside of a daily crucifying of self at the foot of the cross.
~ The cross of our Precious Lord is indeed victory for the Christian! But we must remember that taking up a cross has always been victory…. but only through death!
~ Satan will use anything to keep us from going to the cross to die to self. Satan used Peter in an
effort to stop Jesus from going to the cross. (Matthew 16:23) What will he use on you?
Matthew 16:24-25 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.”
Determine to loose sight of yourself, your own will and your own interests…..for Christ’s sake and the gospel.
Romans 8:13 “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
Our lost world needs to see Christians, willing to be, crucified unto Christ! Will you be one?

I get so upset with myself when I let self get in the way. Thanks for the reminder that it really is all about HIM and THE CROSS.
