Matthew 16:24, “Then Jesus said to His
disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross and follow Me.”
The Disciple’s Cross is made up of three
distinct components.
The simulated leather
cord reminds us of the leather straps used to beat our savior;
the wrapped wire
stands for the thorn branches twisted into a crown to mock the King of Kings;
and
the nails represent
the large spikes that were driven into the hands and feet of the Lord of
Lords.
As you carry your Disciple’s Cross with
you, consider the sacrifice that Jesus made for you and take up your cross and
follow Him.
