Yes. Picking up my cross is not my favorite passage in scripture. But, it is undeniably the truth...unless we choose to not be Jesus' followers, or part-time followers, etc. To be a disciple is to be all in. And we don't like that, because it requires sacrifice, sometimes a lot of sacrifice. But to be all in with Jesus is what life is really all about.
Amen.
