Mark 8: 34-35 says “ Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. In this, I just hear the holy spirit telling my spirit to pick up your cross and follow me. More on this later.

The time that I think of surrender in the Bible is the story of Jesus in the garden. Here, Jesus had to commit the ultimate act of surrender by literally saying to God all to him he surrenders and he then a few days later was left to go die on the cross but he rose again. It is almost like he had the scripture Jeremiah 29:11 in his head. For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not harm you.

My question for you all today and the question I have had to ask myself is why so serious. God allow me to be your vessel on this podcast.
