What Jesus Said.

8. HE Said Unto Them" Wv. 1891.
Jesus here sets forth, as contrasted
with the prevalent notions Of the Mes
siah, three conditions whereby men
may become his disciples: a. Self
denial Jesus was on his way to
Jerusalem not to claim authority, but
to be rejected, not to assume throne.
but to die. He tells us that we must
affirm that we have no reliance upon
or obligation to self when 1t makes its
demands. asserts Its opinions. or ex-
presses its desire. To deny is to re-
nounce. That is exactly what self.
confident Peter did on that last night
and three times he confessed his peni-
tence on the shore OF the lake. To
deny self means exactly what the
words imply md not the usually &C.
cepted idea OF abstinence from food.
pleasures and Injuries. (2) Cross
bearing. Let us pause often to think
what of pain and torture and ignominy
is embodied In that word, Cross"
Jesus knew the suffering, the Ioneli-
ucss, the shame; yet he set his face
steadfastly to go to Jerusalem" and
bore all of this with Joy" (Heb. 12:2).
Taking up ones cross is to follow
where he leads, thing Peter was not
yet ready to do. To take up our cross
means a via Dolorosa" for each OF
his followers that will end in calvary
for all personal ambitions. desires or
CLANS. To refuse or to compromise In
order to avoid sufferings, privations
or shame, Is to refuse to take up your
GROSS" (3) And follow me-" (see /
Peter 2:19-21 and Phil, 1859. To fol-
low Jesus does not of necessity ex-
rress itself in peculiar garb, strange
actions or pious speech. 1t means the
subjugation OF all we have and are to
