Why Jesus Endured the Cross, Part 1 | The Meaning of Easter
Understanding Jesus command, “take up your cross daily.”
It is only because of the suffering of Christ on our behalf that Resurrection Sunday is so wonderful and worth celebrating. Travis helps us to understand why Jesus would offer to be God’s sacrifice for us. He explains that Jesus trusted what his Father held forth for him on the other side of the cross. Are you willing to deny yourself the pleasures of this life right now, getting what you want from your life? Or are you willing to wait for the pleasures and joy God promises for eternity. Travis explains the phrase, take up your cross daily, which is a metaphor for dying to ourselves.
