GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST.
MARK, 8:34
JESUS CALLED THE PEOPLE AND HIS
DISCIPLES TO HIM AND SAID, ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him
renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me.’
This verse goes along very well
with these phrases.
No cross, no crown.
No pain, no gain.
He that will have the fruit must
climb the tree.
He who would gather honey must
bear the sting of the bees.
It seems to very much apply only
for the religious and clergy. Superficially yes but totally no. This verse
invites all Christians to understand the beauty of hardship and suffering that
each of us face in our daily lives and to transform it into a great wonderful
glory.
