"If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." — Luke 9:23
What does it truly cost to follow Jesus? In this sermon, I dived into Luke 9:23–24 to explore the radical transformation that salvation produces in a believer's life.
While the world tells us to find ourselves, Jesus calls us to deny ourselves. While the world chases comfort, Jesus tells us to carry a cross. In this sermon, I try to provide a gripping historical look at the nature of Roman crucifixion and attitudes to remind us that the cross wasn't just a symbol—it was a death sentence. To follow the Crucified King is to daily put our old selves to death so that Christ can live through us.
