Jesus took up His cross on this Good Friday that we celebrate, and gave us renewed access to Heaven and all its privileges right here on earth. “Your kingdom come,” right? Here is a thought for modern believers: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24). What a good trade! Eternal life, health, provision, supernatural power, all given to those who will obey and seek the Savior! Let’s pay the price like our Lord did!
