Paul's identification with the cross was key to the life that he lived. In Galatians 6:14 he wrote, "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Through the cross there was a death to the world and a resulting new life. Note his confession in Galatians 2:20 " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
In Living With Your Passions, Tozer writes; "The part of ourselves that we rescue from the Cross may be a very little part of us, but it is likely to be the seat of our spiritual troubles and our defeats."
Have you taken up the Cross today? "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." - Luke 9:23
