You would have to agree that most people do not like pain, suffering and grief in their lives and will do just about anything to avoid it. Then we hear the story about the life of Job who lost absolutely everything in his life, even his children and his own health, and how he responds is not often the way we respond to suffering. Then, Jesus tells us, “Take up your cross and follow me!” Part of us retreats in horror. But no cross, no disciple. No cross, no Christ. Today we’ll explore what Jesus means by “the cross” and why both your cross and his are necessary.
The sermon is based on Mark 8:31-38. Theme: “The Necessity of the Cross”
