The
CROSS
of a Disciple
 The CROSS of a Disciple

• Read Luke 9:23 and Matt 11:29

• Lord Jesus Christ gave us TWO great symbols
of commandment:
– “If any man would come after ME, let him deny
himself, take up his CROSS daily and follow ME”.
– “Take MY YOKE upon you, and learn of ME; for I
am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest
unto your souls”.
* Both made of Wood.
Two Great Symbols of Commandment:

• The CROSS: The YOKE:

– Vertical - Horizontal
– Picture of Submission - Picture of Service
– Submits to Lord - Surrenders to Lord
– For Salvation - For Service

When you put BOTH TOGETHER you have a picture

of REAL DISCIPLESHIP.
The Cross:
• Teaches Truth of the Gospel:

– Saved by hearing/believing of the Gospel

(1Cor 15:1-4)
– Live life as it becomes the Gospel
(Phil 1:27)
– Ultimate Judgment is by the Gospel
(Rom 2:16)
The Cross:
• Our Problem and God’s Solution:
– God is love, kind, good then He should forgive sins
– But know God is Just also.
Two Important Things:
1. God is Love 2. God is Just
- Love demands forgiveness
- Justice demands punishment.
- What should God do?
- By Giving the Son He kept love
- By Nailing the Son He kept the justice.
Compare the Two:
The Cross: The Yoke:
- Khilalela Christ - Judlela Christ
- Mazya Aaivaji - Mazya Barobar
- Mi Tya barobar? - Mi Tya sobat?
- Daily Death Experience - Very life
- To sin, Satan, flesh, world?- before the world?
The Yoke:
• Read Deut 22:9-11:
• PROHIBITED:
– MIXED TEACHING - Misrit Sidhant
– MIXED TOILING- Misrit Seva
– MIXED TESTIMONY - Misrit Saksh

Ex. Thomas – Except I see I will not believe.

World says the same…
Can they see in you and me?

Krus hi tera nishan

Aage badh e jawan
Piche na hatna kabhi
YESHU hai teri chattan…
