If anyone wants to come with me. This is what it will cost to follow Jesus and be his disciple. He must forget himself. He must be willing to say "No" to human goals. Carry his cross. Luke adds: "everyday." The cross is the symbol of making ourself a "living sacrifice" (Romans 12:1-2) by using his principles to make our decisions and guide our life even to the point of dying rather than to repudiate him. And follow me. To follow Jesus is to believe his teaching, to work for his Plan, to live by his commands, and to keep on doing this even when it costs our life to do so.
