00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.380
 If you would open up your Bibles to Matthew chapter 16, we're going to be looking at verses 24 through 27.

00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:14.519
 I'm going to pick up on 28 next week, but I'm just going to read 24 through 28.

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.820
 And let's hear what our Lord Jesus is calling us to.

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:49.799
 Then Jesus told his disciples,

00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:57.299
 He's going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:04.840
 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:10.420
 And if you look down to verse chapter 17, he's referring to the transfiguration.

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:19.599
 When you wake up in the morning, what are the first things that come into your mind?

00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:23.179
 Here's typically what happens with me in the morning.

00:01:23.479 --> 00:01:30.439
 I wake up and I look at my watch, and it's usually glowing in the dark because I'm a notoriously early riser,

00:01:30.639 --> 00:01:33.599
 and I'm asking this question, oh, what time is it now?

00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:39.199
 Or maybe you're thinking, oh, I hope the coffee maker's on.

00:01:41.399 --> 00:01:42.359
 What's for breakfast?

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.599
 If you're like me, you're saying something like, what day is it?

00:01:48.379 --> 00:01:48.939
 Is it Friday?

00:01:49.619 --> 00:01:50.019
 Saturday?

00:01:50.539 --> 00:01:50.859
 Monday?

00:01:50.859 --> 00:01:50.939
 Monday?

00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:57.340
 And then when we start thinking about what day it is, usually an agenda starts coming in as well, right?

00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.000
 What do you need to get done that day?

00:01:59.099 --> 00:02:00.000
 Who do you need to talk to?

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.980
 What needs to happen?

00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:13.980
 What would happen if the moment you wake up in the morning, there is something else that comes into your mind?

00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:16.479
 It's a question.

00:02:17.659 --> 00:02:19.039
 It's a question like this.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.639
 You wake up and your first thoughts are, what is the most important thing this day?

00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.279
 What is the thing of greatest importance today?

00:02:32.859 --> 00:02:47.079
 Just imagine Jesus' words, if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

00:02:48.299 --> 00:02:53.359
 Every day you wake up, you are faced with a decision.

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.560
 A decision of what matters most.

00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.700
 Of who you're going to live for.

00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:04.940
 And what Jesus says is there's basically two options.

00:03:05.660 --> 00:03:09.460
 You're either going to live for yourself or you're going to live for Christ.

00:03:11.820 --> 00:03:18.900
 And what Jesus is going to call us to this morning is, come live for me.

00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:26.020
 The call this morning is the call of the Christ to follow me.

00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:31.620
 And not only was it true back 2,000 years, it's just as poignant today.

00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.140
 Our Christ is a risen Christ.

00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:37.960
 And he's calling you to follow him.

00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:42.280
 In this passage, we see two moves.

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.120
 We see the call of Christ to follow him in verse 24.

00:03:46.580 --> 00:03:48.560
 That's where we're going to spend most of our time this morning.

00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:54.840
 And then in verses 25, 26, and 27, Jesus provides a rationale.

00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.259
 Three reasons to follow him.

00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.819
 And you can see they're all signaled by a word for.

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.180
 You can see it at the beginning of each sentence.

00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:09.680
 So this morning, what we're going to do is, we're going to look at the call to follow Jesus.

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:14.219
 And then we're going to look somewhat briefly at his rationale.

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:17.259
 The reasons to follow him.

00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:22.620
 What I want you to understand this morning is the point Jesus is making here.

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:24.560
 In order to follow him.

00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.000
 In order to live for him.

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.780
 In order to be his disciple.

00:04:28.779 --> 00:04:28.879
 In order to be his disciple.

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.139
 You're going to have to die to yourself.

00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.859
 In order to live for Christ, you must die to yourself.

00:04:39.419 --> 00:04:43.099
 And in Christ, you will find life.

00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:51.859
 So if you look at verse 24, we read this.

00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:55.739
 If anyone would come after me.

00:04:55.740 --> 00:04:59.000
 Let me give you a little background on that word me.

00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:00.280
 On Jesus.

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:07.600
 Remember, it's in verse 16 of chapter 16 that Peter has just confessed to Jesus,

00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:09.180
 You are the Christ.

00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:11.000
 The son of the living God.

00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:12.680
 And what he means by that is saying,

00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:14.259
 You're that Psalm 2 guy.

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.480
 You're the 2 Samuel 7 guy.

00:05:16.900 --> 00:05:18.680
 You're the one, the king that was promised.

00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:24.620
 The anointed one of God who would come and take up David's throne and reign forever.

00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:24.860
 You're the one.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:26.899
 You're the one.

00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:29.860
 And Jesus responds by him saying,

00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:31.480
 Blessed are you, Simon Peter.

00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.100
 You didn't figure that one out on your own.

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.100
 That was God's kindness in revealing that to you.

00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:39.560
 And then if you look down in verse 21,

00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:43.840
 Jesus clarifies the work of the Christ.

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.100
 He says to his disciples from that time,

00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:48.500
 Or we read from that time,

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:51.939
 Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem

00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:55.420
 and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes,

00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:59.819
 and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:03.759
 What Jesus is saying here is clarifying for his disciples.

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.920
 He's like, hey, you got it right.

00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.339
 I'm the Christ, but let me just help you understand.

00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:11.860
 I've come to do something you're not expecting.

00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:14.300
 I've come to go to Jerusalem.

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:16.600
 I've come to suffer.

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.639
 I've come to die.

00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:21.060
 And I've come to be raised from the dead.

00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:26.280
 Peter, of course, says, no, never.

00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:27.520
 No, it's not going to happen.

00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:30.220
 Peter, and then Jesus says, get behind me, Satan.

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:31.699
 You're hindrance to me.

00:06:32.280 --> 00:06:35.360
 You're not thinking God's thoughts.

00:06:35.460 --> 00:06:37.020
 You're thinking man's thoughts.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.800
 And every time we wake up in the morning,

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.639
 we usually default into mankind thinking, don't we?

00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:48.980
 So this morning, as we think about that me,

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.360
 if anyone would come after me,

00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:54.040
 you got to realize who it is.

00:06:54.860 --> 00:06:58.259
 It's the Christ, the one who would come,

00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.480
 suffer, die, be raised.

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.100
 He's the one born of a virgin.

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:06.740
 He's the one that was tempted by Satan.

00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:10.020
 Everything he could get to throw at Jesus, he withstood it.

00:07:10.899 --> 00:07:13.799
 This is the one when he came, he said, I didn't come to abolish the law,

00:07:13.859 --> 00:07:14.699
 but to fulfill it.

00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.599
 This is the one who came and exercised his authority over sin,

00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.500
 so that you may know that your sins are forgiven.

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:23.419
 Get up and walk.

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.279
 He came and exercised his authority over disease and over demons,

00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:31.399
 over raging deeps of the Sea of Galilee.

00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:34.579
 He even exercised his authority over death.

00:07:34.579 --> 00:07:37.800
 This is the one that's saying, if anyone would come after me.

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.500
 He's the one who said, your greatest problem isn't outside of you.

00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.000
 Your greatest problem is inside of you.

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.360
 Your sinful heart, which defiles you.

00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:51.120
 That's why he came.

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.660
 He came to save sinners from their sin.

00:07:56.579 --> 00:08:00.560
 He's the one that miraculously fed 5,000 Jews, Jewish men,

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:04.840
 and miraculously fed 4,000 Gentile men,

00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:06.980
 probably 20,000 people altogether.

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.800
 This is the one who is the long-anticipated Christ,

00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:13.420
 the son of David,

00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:15.639
 who would come and take up the throne,

00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.819
 and he established and came to take up his throne

00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:21.779
 through suffering and being crucified

00:08:21.779 --> 00:08:24.959
 and being raised from the dead.

00:08:25.659 --> 00:08:27.779
 It's Jesus, the Christ,

00:08:27.939 --> 00:08:30.659
 who is God's plan for the fullness of time

00:08:30.659 --> 00:08:33.740
 that he set in motion before the foundation of the world.

00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.699
 That's who this is that is speaking.

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:37.539
 It's the Christ

00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:39.740
 with all authority

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:41.139
 on heaven and earth.

00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:45.860
 What does this kind of backstory show us?

00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.360
 This is no ordinary guy

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.679
 calling us to come follow him.

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.620
 This is the risen Christ,

00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:56.100
 God incarnate.

00:08:57.439 --> 00:09:00.779
 And so his words carry weight.

00:09:03.439 --> 00:09:05.799
 And so in looking at this call,

00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:07.919
 if anyone would come after me,

00:09:08.319 --> 00:09:08.700
 anyone,

00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:09.960
 he turns from Peter

00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.280
 and he turns to his disciples

00:09:11.280 --> 00:09:12.620
 and he speaks very generally.

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:14.100
 If anyone,

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:15.660
 if someone would come after me,

00:09:15.900 --> 00:09:16.680
 the invitation,

00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:18.759
 the welcome is wide.

00:09:19.060 --> 00:09:21.160
 If anyone in this room

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:22.139
 would come after me,

00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:24.820
 if anyone living around Lincoln Square

00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:27.240
 would come after me,

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.740
 anyone living on an uptown,

00:09:29.900 --> 00:09:30.660
 Frank neighborhood,

00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:32.420
 anywhere in Kenosha,

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:34.259
 if anyone would come after me.

00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:36.600
 And that word would,

00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.300
 if you look at that word,

00:09:38.299 --> 00:09:39.620
 underneath it,

00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:41.839
 is this sense of desire,

00:09:42.339 --> 00:09:42.879
 willingness.

00:09:43.359 --> 00:09:45.159
 If anyone would choose

00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.059
 to come after me.

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.719
 That two word,

00:09:50.819 --> 00:09:51.379
 those two words,

00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:52.120
 come after,

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.519
 in a literal sense,

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:56.259
 it means get in line, right?

00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.139
 I'm not sure if you,

00:09:58.559 --> 00:09:59.919
 this happened to you growing up,

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.759
 but when I grew up,

00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:03.079
 I would have to get into

00:10:03.079 --> 00:10:05.219
 all sorts of different lines.

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:07.139
 And I would have to get into lines

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:09.399
 with kind of different ways.

00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:09.879
 For example,

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.379
 get in line, Michael,

00:10:11.540 --> 00:10:13.100
 according to alphabetical order.

00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:14.120
 And so,

00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:16.259
 Salvati is at the end

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:19.519
 and it always comes after an R.

00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.139
 Or I would have to get in line

00:10:22.139 --> 00:10:23.759
 according to my birthday,

00:10:24.060 --> 00:10:24.980
 which is in December.

00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.100
 So I would always have to come

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:28.440
 after November.

00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:30.480
 Or I'd have to get in line

00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:31.639
 according to my height.

00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:33.200
 And so I would come after

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.780
 someone who is shorter than me.

00:10:35.700 --> 00:10:37.340
 What is Jesus talking about

00:10:37.340 --> 00:10:38.759
 when he means come after me?

00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.520
 Is he calling you to come after him

00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:42.660
 in terms of your height?

00:10:42.660 --> 00:10:43.980
 Your birth date?

00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:45.560
 Your last name?

00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:49.140
 The relationship that he's talking about

00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:50.920
 is one of discipleship.

00:10:52.060 --> 00:10:54.420
 It's a discipleship relationship.

00:10:55.640 --> 00:10:57.879
 He's calling you to come after him

00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.300
 is a master calling his follower.

00:11:00.299 --> 00:11:03.719
 A teacher calling his learner.

00:11:04.319 --> 00:11:07.079
 Come after me.

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.659
 And so what this is

00:11:11.659 --> 00:11:14.919
 is a call to discipleship.

00:11:16.299 --> 00:11:17.939
 And what that means

00:11:17.939 --> 00:11:20.019
 is that when you become

00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:21.139
 someone's disciple,

00:11:21.939 --> 00:11:23.939
 you submit yourself

00:11:23.939 --> 00:11:25.579
 to that person's authority.

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:28.780
 You listen and learn

00:11:28.780 --> 00:11:30.320
 from that person's teaching.

00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.460
 You obey that person's commands.

00:11:35.180 --> 00:11:37.800
 You live according to the way

00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:40.440
 that person lived their life.

00:11:42.180 --> 00:11:44.160
 And so this call to follow me

00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:47.440
 has everything to do with Jesus.

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:52.000
 to come under Jesus.

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:55.400
 To follow after Jesus.

00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.480
 Everyone on the planet

00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:58.480
 is following somebody.

00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:01.680
 You're a disciple of someone.

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.680
 You're coming after somebody.

00:12:04.260 --> 00:12:05.960
 You are submitting to someone.

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:07.100
 You're learning from someone.

00:12:07.260 --> 00:12:08.320
 You're obeying someone.

00:12:08.780 --> 00:12:10.420
 You are living your life

00:12:10.420 --> 00:12:11.620
 after somebody.

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:12.840
 The question is,

00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:13.600
 who is it?

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:15.160
 Who's your Lord?

00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:16.280
 Who's your master?

00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.379
 Who's your teacher?

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:21.339
 The chief rival

00:12:21.339 --> 00:12:23.620
 for living for Christ

00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:26.639
 is you.

00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:28.600
 Living for yourself.

00:12:29.959 --> 00:12:32.100
 You cannot live for yourself

00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:34.240
 in Jesus simultaneously.

00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.120
 You can only have one master.

00:12:36.699 --> 00:12:38.299
 You can only have one Lord.

00:12:39.439 --> 00:12:40.539
 And Jesus is saying,

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:41.980
 I'm the one.

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.919
 I'm the Christ.

00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:45.919
 Come follow me.

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.839
 In order for you to live for Christ,

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.480
 you must die to yourself.

00:12:52.059 --> 00:12:53.220
 And so here's the invitation.

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:54.799
 If anyone would come after me,

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:57.159
 and now Jesus is going to turn this

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:58.379
 to three commands.

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.399
 If you're willing to follow me,

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.240
 if you're willing to come

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.459
 under my leadership,

00:13:04.899 --> 00:13:06.139
 if you're willing to become

00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:06.919
 my disciple,

00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.559
 then you must deny yourself,

00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:13.419
 take up your cross,

00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:14.959
 follow me.

00:13:14.959 --> 00:13:16.500
 There are three commands.

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.559
 There are three,

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:20.219
 they're called imperatives.

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:21.759
 Do this.

00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:23.659
 If you're going to follow Jesus,

00:13:24.139 --> 00:13:25.519
 you must do this.

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:27.579
 It's not optional.

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:29.379
 In the English version,

00:13:29.459 --> 00:13:30.779
 in the ESV at least,

00:13:30.839 --> 00:13:31.339
 it says,

00:13:32.199 --> 00:13:33.939
 if anyone would come after me,

00:13:34.179 --> 00:13:36.099
 let him deny himself.

00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:38.680
 And it kind of softens

00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:41.779
 the force of the command.

00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:43.180
 Jesus is saying,

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:45.100
 if you're going to come after me,

00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:46.720
 you must do this.

00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:48.820
 You must deny yourself.

00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:50.600
 You must take up your cross.

00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:52.100
 You must follow me.

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.320
 So let's be clear on what he means

00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.139
 by denying yourself,

00:13:57.659 --> 00:13:58.680
 taking up your cross,

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.360
 and following him.

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.259
 What does it mean to deny yourself?

00:14:05.379 --> 00:14:05.879
 Well,

00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:07.800
 at a basic sense,

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:08.360
 it's this.

00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.419
 You cannot follow Jesus

00:14:11.419 --> 00:14:13.820
 without first denying yourself.

00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:16.320
 You can't live for yourself

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:17.360
 and Christ.

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:18.879
 It's one or the other.

00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.180
 Now, the temptation here

00:14:21.180 --> 00:14:23.019
 is to read something

00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:24.180
 into the command

00:14:24.180 --> 00:14:25.100
 to deny yourself

00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:26.180
 that's not there.

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:27.539
 So for example,

00:14:27.659 --> 00:14:28.340
 you may think,

00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:28.960
 well,

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.259
 in order for me to deny,

00:14:30.420 --> 00:14:31.440
 to follow Jesus,

00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:33.720
 I need to deny myself

00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.860
 eating Oreo cookies

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:39.379
 or binging on Netflix

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:43.240
 or gossiping about this person.

00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:45.000
 Now,

00:14:45.180 --> 00:14:46.460
 those things may be true.

00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:49.600
 But what Jesus is saying here,

00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.320
 he's not commanding you

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.920
 to give something up.

00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.599
 He's commanding you

00:14:58.599 --> 00:15:00.479
 to deny yourself

00:15:00.479 --> 00:15:02.779
 who you are.

00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:05.299
 It's a call to relinquish

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:07.399
 all claims on your life.

00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:08.860
 That's what he's saying.

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.000
 That word deny

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.879
 means to disassociate yourself

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.639
 from someone.

00:15:15.939 --> 00:15:16.740
 Jesus is saying,

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.599
 disassociate yourself

00:15:18.599 --> 00:15:20.679
 from living a life

00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:21.839
 for yourself

00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:23.439
 so that you can associate

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.400
 with Christ

00:15:24.400 --> 00:15:25.380
 and live a life

00:15:25.380 --> 00:15:25.920
 for him.

00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:27.040
 That's what he's saying.

00:15:28.880 --> 00:15:29.220
 Do you remember

00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:30.260
 in Matthew 26,

00:15:30.820 --> 00:15:32.620
 Jesus and Peter,

00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:33.280
 Peter's like,

00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:34.420
 I'm going to go

00:15:34.420 --> 00:15:35.580
 to my death for you.

00:15:35.780 --> 00:15:36.540
 And Jesus is like,

00:15:36.680 --> 00:15:37.300
 actually, Peter,

00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:38.160
 you're going to deny me

00:15:38.160 --> 00:15:39.300
 three times.

00:15:40.180 --> 00:15:41.880
 And the word deny,

00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:43.560
 Jesus used in Matthew 26,

00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:44.980
 is the same word deny

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:46.460
 Jesus is using here.

00:15:47.100 --> 00:15:48.520
 If anyone would come

00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:49.000
 after me,

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.560
 he must deny himself.

00:15:51.540 --> 00:15:52.360
 So remember what happened

00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:53.360
 in Matthew 26,

00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:58.760
 the Peter's denials,

00:15:59.560 --> 00:16:00.340
 someone comes up

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:01.100
 and says to Peter,

00:16:01.180 --> 00:16:02.680
 hey, you also were

00:16:02.680 --> 00:16:03.420
 with Jesus.

00:16:04.700 --> 00:16:05.700
 And Peter says,

00:16:05.980 --> 00:16:07.300
 I don't know what you mean.

00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:09.060
 He's playing dumb.

00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:10.720
 I don't know what you're

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.040
 talking about.

00:16:11.060 --> 00:16:11.340
 What do you mean?

00:16:12.900 --> 00:16:14.340
 He's denying Jesus.

00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:17.540
 He's disassociating himself

00:16:17.540 --> 00:16:18.420
 from Jesus.

00:16:20.020 --> 00:16:21.540
 And then a girl comes up

00:16:21.539 --> 00:16:22.279
 and says to him,

00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:24.500
 this man was with Jesus.

00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:26.679
 And what does Peter do?

00:16:28.219 --> 00:16:29.439
 I do not know the man

00:16:29.439 --> 00:16:31.139
 referring to Jesus.

00:16:31.659 --> 00:16:32.719
 He denies him.

00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:34.399
 He's disassociating himself

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:35.159
 from Jesus.

00:16:36.439 --> 00:16:38.799
 And then we read this.

00:16:38.860 --> 00:16:40.279
 Certainly you too

00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:41.199
 are one of them,

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:42.480
 one of the disciples,

00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.840
 for your accent betrays you.

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:45.940
 He's from Galilee.

00:16:46.940 --> 00:16:48.000
 And what Peter does

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.460
 is this.

00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:50.720
 He calls down a curse,

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.019
 he swears,

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:53.259
 and he says,

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:55.300
 I do not know the man.

00:16:56.620 --> 00:16:58.379
 He denies him three times.

00:16:59.060 --> 00:17:01.039
 He disassociates himself

00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.840
 from Jesus.

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.440
 And the irony is,

00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.000
 is that Jesus is commanding

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:06.779
 Peter right here

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:07.120
 to say,

00:17:07.380 --> 00:17:08.100
 deny yourself

00:17:08.100 --> 00:17:09.059
 and follow me.

00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:10.380
 And what happens

00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:11.819
 in Matthew 26 is,

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:14.500
 Peter denies Christ

00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:15.340
 for himself.

00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:18.200
 The point I'm trying

00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:18.960
 to make is this.

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:21.160
 To deny yourself

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.640
 means to disassociate

00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:24.440
 yourself

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.340
 from yourself,

00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.620
 from living for yourself,

00:17:28.619 --> 00:17:30.619
 in order to live

00:17:30.619 --> 00:17:32.000
 for Christ.

00:17:32.299 --> 00:17:34.439
 You deny any claim

00:17:34.439 --> 00:17:35.579
 on your life.

00:17:35.719 --> 00:17:36.279
 It's saying,

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:37.500
 I'm not in control

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:38.599
 of my life anymore.

00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:40.119
 Jesus is.

00:17:40.639 --> 00:17:42.459
 I don't own my life.

00:17:42.919 --> 00:17:43.779
 Jesus does.

00:17:44.159 --> 00:17:45.079
 I do not claim

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:46.539
 to know what's best for me.

00:17:47.139 --> 00:17:48.179
 Jesus does.

00:17:48.459 --> 00:17:49.379
 That's what it means

00:17:49.379 --> 00:17:51.019
 to deny yourself.

00:17:52.139 --> 00:17:53.919
 To disassociate

00:17:53.919 --> 00:17:55.639
 yourself

00:17:55.639 --> 00:17:57.659
 from living a life

00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:58.680
 unto yourself.

00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:01.100
 Another way to say it

00:18:01.100 --> 00:18:01.560
 is this.

00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:03.400
 It's to reject

00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.540
 a self-centered life

00:18:05.540 --> 00:18:07.820
 for a Christ-centered life.

00:18:08.060 --> 00:18:09.160
 It's to reject

00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.660
 a self-determined life

00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:15.220
 to live a Christ-determined life.

00:18:17.120 --> 00:18:18.920
 You can't have it both ways.

00:18:20.540 --> 00:18:21.740
 Jesus is saying,

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:23.980
 if you're going to follow me,

00:18:24.460 --> 00:18:26.519
 you must deny yourself.

00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:30.040
 The Apostle Paul

00:18:30.040 --> 00:18:32.340
 captures this

00:18:32.340 --> 00:18:33.940
 in Galatians 2.20

00:18:33.940 --> 00:18:35.060
 where he says,

00:18:35.300 --> 00:18:36.019
 I have been crucified

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:36.800
 with Christ.

00:18:37.800 --> 00:18:38.400
 And it's no longer

00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:39.100
 I who live,

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:40.340
 but Christ lives in me

00:18:40.340 --> 00:18:41.220
 in the life

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:42.700
 I now live

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:44.300
 in the flesh.

00:18:44.820 --> 00:18:45.600
 I live by faith

00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:46.480
 in the Son of God

00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:47.259
 who loved me

00:18:47.259 --> 00:18:48.160
 and gave himself up

00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:48.759
 for me.

00:18:50.120 --> 00:18:51.140
 Denying himself.

00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:55.580
 So in order for us

00:18:55.580 --> 00:18:56.600
 to follow Jesus,

00:18:56.820 --> 00:18:58.480
 we first must not

00:18:58.480 --> 00:18:59.420
 deny ourselves

00:18:59.420 --> 00:19:00.780
 and then second,

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:02.820
 we must take up

00:19:02.820 --> 00:19:03.820
 our cross.

00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:04.980
 And again,

00:19:05.320 --> 00:19:06.400
 here we've got to be careful

00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.340
 of not reading something in

00:19:08.340 --> 00:19:09.920
 that Jesus is not saying.

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.400
 What does Jesus mean

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:13.640
 when he says,

00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:15.060
 take up your cross?

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:15.139
 cross.

00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:17.139
 Now,

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:21.179
 all of us have burdens

00:19:21.179 --> 00:19:21.720
 to carry.

00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:23.319
 There are people

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:24.259
 in this room

00:19:24.259 --> 00:19:25.419
 who are carrying

00:19:25.419 --> 00:19:26.319
 burdens

00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:27.980
 of a terminal illness.

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.240
 Who are carrying

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:30.139
 a burden

00:19:30.139 --> 00:19:31.759
 of a strained

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.659
 relationship.

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.659
 Maybe it's a spouse

00:19:34.659 --> 00:19:35.679
 or maybe it's

00:19:35.679 --> 00:19:37.019
 a wayward child.

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:40.500
 trying to make

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:41.559
 ends meet.

00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:43.660
 Carrying the responsibility

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:45.059
 for a lot of people.

00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:47.900
 That can be a burden

00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:48.500
 to carry.

00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:50.440
 And what people

00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:51.579
 can say in those moments

00:19:51.579 --> 00:19:52.619
 is something like this.

00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:53.980
 Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:54.240
 You know,

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:55.619
 we all have our crosses

00:19:55.619 --> 00:19:56.220
 to carry.

00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:59.299
 We all have our crosses

00:19:59.299 --> 00:19:59.859
 to bear.

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:02.359
 Is that what Jesus

00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:02.859
 means here?

00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.000
 The question we ask

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.480
 to get what Jesus

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.559
 is actually saying

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:10.019
 is by asking this.

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.099
 How would his disciples

00:20:12.099 --> 00:20:13.319
 have understood

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:14.299
 what he's saying?

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:15.779
 How would they

00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:16.619
 have received

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:17.480
 his words

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:18.980
 to deny themselves

00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:20.099
 and to take up

00:20:20.099 --> 00:20:20.859
 their crosses?

00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:22.279
 How would they

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:23.359
 have responded

00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:23.880
 to it?

00:20:24.259 --> 00:20:25.119
 And any

00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:26.059
 first century

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:27.319
 resident of Palestine

00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:28.440
 would have understood

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:28.980
 Jesus

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:30.319
 to be commanding

00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.240
 them to prepare

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:31.859
 to die.

00:20:32.859 --> 00:20:33.740
 To take up

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.420
 your cross.

00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:36.539
 Do you remember

00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:37.720
 Dietrich Bonhoeffer?

00:20:37.860 --> 00:20:38.800
 I was introduced

00:20:38.800 --> 00:20:39.640
 to him when I was

00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.019
 a new follower

00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:42.080
 of Jesus in college

00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:43.000
 and he wrote this book

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:43.680
 called The Cost

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.519
 of Discipleship

00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:45.860
 and he's famous

00:20:45.860 --> 00:20:46.539
 for saying

00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:47.740
 when Christ

00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:48.800
 calls a man

00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:49.660
 he bids him

00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:50.700
 come and die.

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:57.100
 In our day

00:20:57.100 --> 00:20:58.580
 when we see

00:20:58.580 --> 00:20:59.600
 a cross somewhere

00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:01.619
 we think

00:21:01.619 --> 00:21:01.639
 we think

00:21:01.639 --> 00:21:02.439
 of Christianity

00:21:02.439 --> 00:21:03.459
 we think

00:21:03.459 --> 00:21:04.939
 religious stuff.

00:21:05.439 --> 00:21:06.139
 If you see

00:21:06.139 --> 00:21:07.279
 kind of a cross

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.559
 around somebody's neck

00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:09.259
 you think

00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:09.939
 well maybe

00:21:09.939 --> 00:21:10.619
 they're a Christian

00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:11.639
 or a tattoo

00:21:11.639 --> 00:21:12.439
 on their arm

00:21:12.439 --> 00:21:12.759
 it's like

00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.500
 maybe they had

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:13.859
 some kind

00:21:13.859 --> 00:21:14.759
 of religious experience

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.519
 or they got

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:16.299
 a cross

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:17.379
 kind of sewed

00:21:17.379 --> 00:21:18.459
 into their leather jacket

00:21:18.459 --> 00:21:18.980
 you're thinking

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:19.339
 okay

00:21:19.339 --> 00:21:20.039
 you know

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:20.679
 there's some

00:21:20.679 --> 00:21:21.039
 kind of

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.000
 connection

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.579
 with the Christian

00:21:23.579 --> 00:21:24.059
 faith

00:21:24.059 --> 00:21:24.779
 and so

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:25.519
 nowadays

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.619
 when we hear

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:27.299
 about the cross

00:21:27.299 --> 00:21:28.359
 we tend to think

00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:29.379
 about Christianity

00:21:29.379 --> 00:21:29.759
 right

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.639
 we think

00:21:30.639 --> 00:21:31.639
 that it's religious

00:21:31.639 --> 00:21:34.079
 but in Jesus' day

00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:35.279
 the cross

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:36.299
 was not religious

00:21:36.299 --> 00:21:38.680
 it represented

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.619
 a horrific

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:40.919
 shameful

00:21:40.919 --> 00:21:41.659
 death

00:21:41.659 --> 00:21:43.139
 by execution

00:21:43.139 --> 00:21:44.139
 and so

00:21:44.139 --> 00:21:44.980
 in order to try

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.899
 to capture that

00:21:45.899 --> 00:21:46.460
 for you

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:47.639
 I thought

00:21:47.639 --> 00:21:48.539
 of a modern day

00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:49.079
 equivalent

00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:50.139
 of kind of

00:21:50.139 --> 00:21:50.960
 the first century

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.759
 understanding

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.500
 of the cross

00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:54.460
 it would be

00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:55.240
 the electric chair

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.700
 think about

00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:57.340
 an electric chair

00:21:57.340 --> 00:21:57.880
 maybe you've seen

00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.720
 the green mile

00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:00.039
 a wooden chair

00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:01.779
 straps on the sides

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:02.799
 and then this kind

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:03.380
 of skull

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:04.480
 metal skull cap

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.000
 that would go

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.620
 over your head

00:22:05.620 --> 00:22:06.980
 that runs the voltage

00:22:06.980 --> 00:22:07.640
 through to put

00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:08.440
 somebody to death

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:10.840
 what Jesus is talking

00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:11.460
 about here

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:12.259
 when he talks

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:13.120
 about the cross

00:22:13.120 --> 00:22:14.180
 it's equivalent

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:16.200
 to an electrical chair

00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:17.100
 it's like Jesus

00:22:17.100 --> 00:22:17.940
 is saying this

00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:19.940
 if anyone would

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:20.580
 come after me

00:22:20.580 --> 00:22:21.680
 he must relinquish

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:22.180
 all claims

00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:22.819
 on his life

00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:23.960
 take up his electric

00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:24.299
 chair

00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:25.500
 and follow me

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:29.700
 when we read

00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:30.460
 Jesus talking

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:31.240
 about the cross

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:32.900
 he's talking

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:33.480
 about death

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.099
 if you're going

00:22:36.099 --> 00:22:37.079
 to come after me

00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:38.299
 be prepared

00:22:38.299 --> 00:22:38.920
 to die

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:40.680
 and so

00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:41.740
 in that first command

00:22:41.740 --> 00:22:43.039
 if anyone

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:43.680
 would come

00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:44.240
 after me

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:45.140
 he must

00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:46.200
 deny himself

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:47.160
 relinquish

00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:47.980
 claims on your

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:48.640
 life

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:50.180
 if you're going

00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:51.039
 to follow Jesus

00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:52.619
 take up your cross

00:22:52.619 --> 00:22:53.759
 you relinquish

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.299
 all claims

00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:55.140
 to your death

00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:58.620
 now I've been

00:22:58.620 --> 00:22:59.400
 asking myself

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:00.980
 a question

00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:01.900
 all week long

00:23:01.900 --> 00:23:04.259
 and here it is

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:07.640
 if I had known

00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.180
 20 something

00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:10.880
 years ago

00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:12.040
 that by becoming

00:23:12.040 --> 00:23:12.740
 a follower

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.540
 of Jesus

00:23:13.540 --> 00:23:15.120
 that I was

00:23:15.120 --> 00:23:16.480
 opening myself

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.460
 up to the

00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:18.080
 possibility

00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:18.940
 of suffering

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:20.400
 and even death

00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:21.840
 would I have

00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:22.840
 still followed him

00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:24.779
 would I

00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:25.339
 still have

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:26.319
 chosen to say

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:26.959
 yes Lord

00:23:26.959 --> 00:23:27.679
 I will follow

00:23:27.679 --> 00:23:28.299
 you anywhere

00:23:28.299 --> 00:23:30.459
 and my answer

00:23:30.459 --> 00:23:30.740
 is

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:31.819
 I think so

00:23:31.819 --> 00:23:34.379
 but now

00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:35.159
 fast forward

00:23:35.159 --> 00:23:35.839
 that today

00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.199
 knowing what

00:23:38.199 --> 00:23:38.500
 I know

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:39.319
 about Jesus

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:41.439
 having this

00:23:41.439 --> 00:23:41.879
 command

00:23:41.879 --> 00:23:43.179
 put squarely

00:23:43.179 --> 00:23:43.599
 in front

00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:43.980
 of me

00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:45.299
 as if

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:46.059
 Jesus himself

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:46.559
 is calling

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:47.079
 you and me

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:47.459
 to say

00:23:47.459 --> 00:23:48.199
 hey if you

00:23:48.199 --> 00:23:49.079
 follow me

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:50.679
 deny yourself

00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:51.380
 take up your

00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:51.820
 cross

00:23:51.820 --> 00:23:52.539
 and come

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:52.799
 after

00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:53.700
 follow me

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:55.400

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:55.860
 it today

00:23:55.860 --> 00:23:58.019
 and the answer

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:58.620
 is a resounding

00:23:58.620 --> 00:23:59.140
 yes

00:23:59.140 --> 00:24:01.259
 you know why

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:02.880
 oh he's worth it

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:04.840
 who he is

00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:05.740
 what he's done

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.580
 what he's doing

00:24:06.580 --> 00:24:06.860
 now

00:24:06.860 --> 00:24:07.820
 what he will do

00:24:07.820 --> 00:24:08.799
 when he comes

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.200
 back

00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:10.500
 it's all worth

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:10.820
 it

00:24:10.820 --> 00:24:12.519
 it's all worth

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:19.880
 you to

00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:20.820
 to deny

00:24:20.820 --> 00:24:21.360
 yourself

00:24:21.360 --> 00:24:22.100
 relinquish

00:24:25.080 --> 00:24:25.620
 your cross

00:24:25.620 --> 00:24:26.519
 even if

00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:27.279
 that means

00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:28.140
 suffering and

00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:28.420
 death

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:29.279

00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:37.160
 and even

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:37.740
 perhaps

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:38.480
 die

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:39.900
 to take up

00:24:42.100 --> 00:24:42.400

00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.540
 if anyone

00:24:45.540 --> 00:24:45.900

00:24:46.320 --> 00:24:47.160

 deny himself

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:49.220

00:24:52.560 --> 00:24:53.040
 let's look

00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:53.340
 at this

 to follow

00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:00.220
 Jesus

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:00.860
 is to become

00:25:00.860 --> 00:25:01.580
 his disciple

00:25:01.580 --> 00:25:02.660
 and in order

00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:03.500
 to live

00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:04.000

00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:06.380
 daily

00:25:06.380 --> 00:25:08.400
 so this

 command

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:09.160
 to follow

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:18.900

00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:19.559
 two mistakes

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:19.960
 we can

00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:20.380
 make

00:25:20.380 --> 00:25:21.339
 mistake

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:02.000
 negatively
