Setting the SCENE

Mark 8:27-30 “Who do people say that I am?” 28 And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” 30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.

And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again.

And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. In Matthew 16: 22 Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.”

33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”.

34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever would save his life[d] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels

Take Up your Cross

Follow me

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

When holy scripture speaks of following Jesus, it proclaims that people are free from all human rules, from everything which pressures, burdens or causes worry and torment of conscience. In Following Jesus people are released form the hard yoke of their own laws to be under the gentle yoke of Christ. Those who follow Jesus commandment entirely, who let Jesus yoke rest on them without resistance, will find the burdens they must bear to be light. In the gentle pressure of his yoke they will receive the strength to walk the right path without becoming weary. Jesus commandment is harsh, inhumanly harsh for someone who resists it. Jesus commandment is gentle and not difficult for someone who willingly accepts it.   His commandants are not burdensome (1john 5:3)
