Jesus explains what is necessary- his rejection & choosing the cross.
Talk about embarrassing. A cross?
God’s plans can be shocking.
Man’s plans can be totally wrong.
Cling to the cross- God’s “plan A” (& there is no “plan B”?).
If some people are not rejecting the notion of “taking up your cross” I am likely not explaining it well.
Jesus, help me see life through the cross.
