Summary
At verse 23, where Jesus said to them all, if any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me to thine own self be true. But to Christ and we're linked to the ownership of Christ and we're linked to the spirit of Christ and we are linked to Christ himself. In Galatians chapter two we hear, I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live but it is Christ who lives in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. By God's grace he continues to bring those divine opportunities into our lives where we get to share his love, where we get to share the faith that he has given to us and the rejection, the fear of rejection cannot stop us, cannot stop us from sharing the love that we have in Christ Jesus because remember it is no longer I who live but it is Christ Jesus who lives in me. What if Jesus followed the words of Shakespeare in the most human sense to sign own self be true to sign own self be true if he followed those words in the most human sense do you think there would be a cross because Christ lived perfectly he had no need to bear the punishment of sin. He actually said deny yourself take up your cross bear the freedom and the love and the light which our daily cross provides and know that when you are true to thine own self in the cross you are truly who you are created to be because you are created and a new creation in Christ Jesus.
