Text of the Day

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER 11

 

 Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me,

cannot be my disciple—

Luke 14:27.

 

 The Lord’s cross-bearing consisted in the doing of the Father’s will under unfavorable conditions. This course brought upon Him the envy, hatred, malice, strife, persecution, etc., of those who thought themselves to be God’s people, but whom our Lord, who read their hearts, declared to be of their father, the devil. Since we are walking in the same way that our Master walked, we may reasonably expect that our crosses will be of a similar kind to His—oppositions to our doing the will of our Father in Heaven—oppositions to our serving His cause and letting the light shine out as our Master and Leader directed.
