Lesson in Review…How Heavy Is Your Cross?
Luke 9:18-27
The cross was an instrument of death. Those hung on the cross were considered cursed by God. On the cross, Christ was suspended between Heaven and earth.

Jesus’s teachings are often upside down when compared to the way we look at things. He healed the sick and raised the dead. Why did he ask his disciples, “Who do you say I am?”

He knew their thoughts. He needed them to say who he was and commit to what they believed. Matthew 16:18

1 Corinthians 3:11 Luke 9:22 Jesus came to die for our sins. He gave his life on the cross. John 3:16 He loved us. We are to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus. Christians who pick up their crosses…
1) face one direction
2) never turn back
3) no longer have plans of their own

Must Jesus bear the cross alone? Take up your cross and carry it daily. Proverbs 3:5 Submit to Christ. Commit to him.

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ~Galatians 6:14

Titus 2:11-12
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

"You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." ~Marcus Aurelius

1 Corinthians 9:27 I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

"No man is free who is not master of himself." ~Epictetus

2 Timothy 1:7 "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."

Human nature is complex. Even if we do have inclinations toward violence, we also have inclination to empathy, to cooperation, to self-control. ~Steven Pinker

Proverbs 16:32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character. ~Grenville Kleiser
