The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple

So what does it mean to deny the self in an age of self-love? To answer that, we see in our passage: a) Jesus shows the meaning of His work. b) Jesus calls us to take up our cross. c) Jesus will return in glory to repay us.
