"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."
"Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me."
"Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me."
"And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple."

During His earthly Ministry two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ (1) pulled no punches when setting the gold standard by which Discipleship (2) would be measured for all time. His clear cut definition of servanthood is proclaimed in each of the four Gospels (3) of Matthew (4), Mark (5), Luke (6) and John (7). As Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8), His words two millennia ago are still applicable present day.
