13. Lk. 9: 23-26

1  Lk. 9: 23-26:  ‘A man must deny himself’ is like Peter’s denial of Jesus by saying “I do not know the man” which means ‘I do not know myself’ ie to ignore the existence itself. ‘Take up the cross’ men to face any eventuality in life as a follower of Jesus. A man must spend his life not to hoard it. The question that one has to ask always is “How much I can give” not “how much can I get”.
