Have you lost your life?
What is your attitude like? Does the argument of the disciples reflect your attitude?
How would Jesus respond to you if today you said, "I will follow you wherever you go"? Do you have things you want to do before you commit to following Him wholeheartedly?

Read my thoughts on this chapter:

"take up your cross"

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." {Verses 23-26}
