The passion of the Christian

While going through the daily process of finding prophecy related news, I stumbled on this interesting and germane read, and it is very very well done. I thought you might find this commentary useful as we approach this Easter weekend.

The passion of the Christian

As an introduction, the article hinges on the following scriptures:


And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

– Mark 8:34-37

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

– Luke 9:23

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

– Matthew 10:38
