Today’s Thought “Motivational Speech” G. Ward Luke 14:27 “Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” This would be a demand from the Savior that would leave these disciples perplexed and bothered; particularly as they understood this form of Roman crucifixion meant that before death on a cross, the accused would carry his own torture stake, to then be attached, awaiting an imminent death and whereas those who’ve departed aren’t available to an earthly return, Jesus our Lord likened our lives before redemption from sin and self onto Holy God control and meant that we too should not seek conjuring the criminal corpse/zombie who once had so much to do and say beforehand.
