Vs. 23 To take up your cross daily, is to walk as Jesus walked, to talk as Jesus talked, to love as Jesus loved, to have comp***ion s Jesus have comp***ion, to forgive as Jesus forgives, to suffer long as Jesus long for us, to be forbearing to your neighbors as Jesus is forbearing to you, you get the picture? It also means that we are to believe and RECIEVE what Jesus did on the CROSS FOR US.Jesus message in ch 9 is liken unto other messages that you will find in all the PARABLES in Matt., Mark, and LUKE, also ch 5 of Matt. For example; we are commanded to love those who hate us, bless those who curse us, pray for those who use us and percecute us. This command goes against the grain doesn't it? you need the HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING IN YOU IN ORDER TO DO THIS, THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD. The Bible tells us that if we don't have the spirit of God dwelling in you, you are none of His.
