I challenged My disciples to deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me. People often misinterpret this statement I made while I walked on Earth.
Some have said that the cross means a burden they must bear. I do not want anyone to bear their burdens. I am the "Good Shepherd" Who called those who follow Me sheep. Sheep are not burden bearers. I invited all to give their burdens to Me.
The cross I was speaking of in this statement is your flesh. The cross that you have to bear throughout life is your flesh that has worldly lusts. The lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and lust of the pride of life make you vulnerable to give into temptation. Give your flesh daily to Me and allow Me to help you deny your flesh and pull down every stronghold in your life that keeps you imprisoned to worldly lusts.
MATTHEW 16:24, 11: 28-30; 1 JOHN 2:15-16
