My disciples followed Me. The crowds followed Me. Then there was that fateful day when the crowds followed Me to the place where I was crucified.
I was crucified on a tree. My hands were nailed to the cross bar that was nailed to the tree. My feet were nailed to the tree. I told My disciples many days and weeks before I was crucified the following: "And he who takes not his cross, and follows after Me, is not worthy of me (Matthew 10:38).'
The disciples did not understand what I meant. The cross is you. It is your life. Paul wrote: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me (Galatians 2:20)."
MATTHEW 10:38; GALATIANS 2:20
