No one can grasp hold of the cross of Christ which atones for sin without also taking hold of the cross of discipleship. When Christ calls a man to salvation, He calls him to self-denial and the cross. The call to salvation is the call to the cross. In this study, we examine not only the words of Christ in this text but also the rest of the gospels and the epistles to see this resounding message of Christ that all who are saved indeed bear the cross of discipleship to serve and obey the Lord.
