Denying Self and Following Jesus | Matt. 16: 21-28
We saw in 2 Timothy 3, that in "the last days" people will be characterised by self-love. Today, we turn to Matthew 16: 21-28, where Jesus' famously said to His disciples to "deny" the self. 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.
