  Embracing the Cross: Finding Flourishing in Our Limits

  Aug 30, 202612 minS13

  Join Jim & Linda as they discuss ... Matthew 16:21–27 - Jesus predicts his suffering, death and resurrection on the third day, then teaches the cost of discipleship: deny self and take up the cross. Jesus shows that the realities we often see as limits (suffering, illness, old age, vulnerability) are not merely defects to be erased but the very places where humanity flourishes; discipleship calls us to deny ourselves, embrace our cross, and trust Christ to bring restoration and resurrection through those limits. Key Points Gospel scene: Jesus tells the disciples he must go to Jerusalem, suffer, be killed, and be raised on the third day; Peter resists and is rebuked. Jesus confronts worldly thinking: “You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do,” exposing how we avoid painful realities. The call to follow: Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. Discipleship demands surrender, not self-preservation.
