IF ANYONE WISHES TO COME AFTER ME

 

“And He was saying to them all, ‘

If anyone wishes to come after Me,

He must deny himself,

And take up his cross daily and follow Me.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,

But whoever loses his life for My sake,

He is the one who will save it.

For what is a man profited

If he gains the whole world,

And loses or forfeits himself?

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words,

The Son of Man will be ashamed of him

When He comes in His glory,

And the glory of the Father

And of the holy angels.’” 

(Luke 9:23-29 NASB)
