Show Notes

Today’s Scripture passage records a conversation that took place between the Lord and Peter. The Lord said here, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Let’s examine why Jesus Christ said these words.
As we carry on with our lives of faith, there are times when we find it very hard to continue on. Haven’t you also had times like this, when you found yourself struggling to carry on with your life of faith even though you wanted to follow the Lord faithfully? In general, this happens often because of the fact that you love yourself too much. If we love ourselves more than the Lord, then it’s very hard for us to follow Him. This is the issue that the Lord is addressing for us in today’s Scripture passage.
