Matthew 16:21-24

A true disciple of Christ is:

1.One who is demonstrating a strong personal desire for Christ.

2.One who is demonstrating they have said no to self.

1.Selfishness- meeting my needs at someone else's expense.

2.Self Sufficiency- when we think we don't need anyone, not even God.

3.Self Will- when I insist on my way regardless of what God requires.

3.One who is demonstrating their unwavering loyalty.

4.One who is demonstrating their total obedience.

1.It is a continuous process

2.Suffering doesn't matter
