What is your cross? The place you crucify your flesh and desires in obedience to Christ. Even Jesus had to be obedient to His Father, God. Thus it is an important part of your walk with Christ! Look at Luke 2:
"41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 43 And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44 but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, 45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart." (ESV)
Jesus was about His Father's buisness and it was the most important thing for Him to do. Even abov his earthly parents. "The main thing is to be right with the Lord," explained Pastor Jose after this message today at Solmons Porch. And God will search out men despite our attempts to hide from Him. "We can hide from man, but no one hides from God." This certainly applies to saints and sinners alike. So remember to take up your cross and be obedient to Christ!
