“ ‘Take up thy cross and follow me.’ I heard the
blessed Savior call; how can I make a lesser sacrifice, when Jesus gave
His all?”
(A.H. Ackley – taken from the hymn “Take up Thy Cross” in 1922)
"One thing you knew about a man walking down the road carrying a cross; he wasn’t coming back.”
(Leonard Ravenhill)
When Jesus calls us to take up our cross and follow Him, His plan for
us is crucifixion. For those who are looking for the abundant life,
there is only one road: Calvary. To the perishing this is foolishness,
yet to follow in The Way one must die before he can live. There will be
no empty tomb without a Gethsemane and a bloody cross. Yes, Gethsemane
comes first. It should have come on the day of your conversion. The day
you wrestled with your flesh. The day you bid your old man good-bye.
The day you surrendered to the will of your Creator. The day you wept
bitterly, first in shame, then in joy. Yes, Gethsemane comes first. Then
we are invited to take up our cross and join the Lord on Calvary’s
hill. To carry our cross in this pilgrim’s path is joy unspeakable, for
there is also a joy set before us. Our Lord knew the joy set before Him
and He willfully embraced the will of His Father. I have heard it said
that there are a thousand roads that lead to hell and only one road
that leads to Heaven. Take up thy cross! The journey won’t be long,
for as one man said, “life lived at it’s best is still brief.” The man
who dodges the cross has no hope of resurrection.
