EPISODE · Dec 5, 2022 · 26 MIN
Matthew 16:21-28
from Come To The Table · host Pastor Mark Kirk
The Roman cross was one of the most brutal forms of public execution, in the history of man. It wasn't like modern-day capital punishment, where you're given a last meal, and then given a lethal injection, and it's over... Not to minimize any form of execution, but crucifixion was horrific! In today's Message, Pastor Mark challenges us to think about what Jesus was saying, when He said, “if anyone desires to come after Me, He must take up His cross, and follow Me.” You might not go through the physical torture, excruciating execution, and public shaming that Christ endured, but what are you willing to give up, to follow Him?
