TAKE UP THE CROSS and FOLLOW HIM

Matthew 16: 24-28

Take Up the Cross and FOLLOW HIM !

24 Then JESUS said to His disciples , "If anyone desires to come after ME , let him deny himself , and TAKE UP his CROSS , and FOLLOW ME.

25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it , but whoever loses his life for MY sake will find it.

26 For what profit is it to a man if He gains the whole world , and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 For the SON of MAN will come in the glory of HIS FATHER with HIS angels , and then HE will reward each according to his works.

28 "Assuredly , I say to you , there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the SON of MAN coming in HIS KINGDOM."
