Following Jesus
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24
Deny- Means to refuse and give up ways and admirations that are the opposite of Jesus Christ. What does it mean to deny yourself in Matthew 16:24?
What self-denial does mean is that while we can have the desires of our heart, we are to deny our own way of achieving them and trust the Lord to do it His way.
Denying ourselves also means turning away from the ways of the “old self” and continually putting on our new self in Christ.
