—Mark 8:34-9:1
by: Steven James.
Being a Christian involves being willing to carry our cross and confess Christ. Our cross is the means by which we die to self and live to God. If we aren't willing to lay it all down for Jesus, then Jesus says don't bother taking up his name on our lips. Our confession is the means by which we assure ourselves of a warm welcome into the presence of our Lord. If our lives and our lips don't affirm our Lord, then his lips will not affirm us when he comes again.
