 “Taking Up Your Cross”: 1. Denying Yourself: It means saying "no" to your selfish desires, pride, and comfort in order to live for God's will. 2. Willingness to Suffer for Christ: In Jesus’ time, the cross was a symbol of death and shame. So to "take up your cross" means being ready to face suffering, rejection, persecution, or hardship for being a follower of Christ. 3. Obedience Even When It’s Hard: It’s about choosing God's path over your own, even when it's uncomfortable, painful, or unpopular. 4. Daily Surrender: Jesus says “daily,” which means this is not a one-time act, but a lifestyle of continuous surrender, commitment, and trust in God. In conclusion: Taking up your cross means living a life of sacrificial love, obedience, and faithfulness to Jesus, even when it  costs you something.
