Kind of what they told Peter to do as well. He didn’t listen either.
RABBI NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THE CROSS>>>>>>
With the CROSS God takes us out of the ordinary and makes us extraordinary people. Instead of being the flesh that will rot with time, He puts the stamp of infinity upon our foreheads and hands us a ticket to glory.
We no longer have to worry about the limit of time for He makes us timeless.
By that shed blood at a place called Calvary, Jesus made us part of His family. Through it He lifts us out of the bondage of hell and claims us for His own.
He takes us from the clutches of Satan, cleans our souls with tender mercy and careful love, and calls us His brothers and sisters.
If I say I love Jesus and look forward to sharing His kingdom, I must carry His cross.
If I need His help in my life situations I must want to help others in the same way. If I need to share in all His goodness I must share in His suffering. If I know that He died on a cross for me, I must be willing to sacrifice myself for Him if He asks this of me.
