"Take Up Your Cross" [Sea 2 / Ep 20]
from Deeper In The Word Hosted by Reverend Adrian L Robinson II
The symbol of the Christian cross: it’s utilized in many different ways by many different faith-based organizations and churches around the world. And….while debate rages on regarding the appropriateness – or INAPPROPRIATENESS – of doing so, it’s clear is that there are lots of varying opinions on the topic. But the REAL question is….is that was Jesus truly meant when He told us to “take up our cross” and follow Him? In fact, what DID He really mean by that statement? And what does the WORD OF GOD say about using the symbolism of the cross? Is God on record as being against such symbolism? And does the Bible actually go into detail about what “taking up our cross” truly means? Come join this important and oftentimes controversial dialogue! Discussion topics include what the difference is between a cross and a crucifix; what the pagan Babylonians have to do with this conversation; why rappers (and others) need to be careful what they claim to represent; why, ultimately, it’s probably best we should look to the examples of Jesus’s Disciples; why taking up your cross DOESN’T refer to that job you hate; the difficulties associated with self-denial; and finding the answers to some HARD QUESTIONS that all Believers need to ask when it comes to trying to determine whether or not you REALLY are ready to “take up your cross” and follow Christ!
