take up the cross, and follow me.
Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and

Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross, and follow me.
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Mark 10:21 mentions take up "the" cross. All the rest says "his" cross. Only one says Daily.
What is the cross to take up?
Is it your burden or God's?
I have heard it said many times we have our "own" cross to bear.
But notice He first said DENY HIMSELF. You can't pick up the cross unless you deny yourself.
So is the cross you bear the cross of the Kingdom?
Deny yourself and take up His cross daily, will that work? Is that it?
