Mark 8:31-38 — Die in order to live. Die to self to save self. To have life we must deny self, take up our crosses and follow Jesus. We cannot save ourselves. Nothing in the world can save us.

We must not disown or be ashamed of Jesus, but stand up and speak out for Him, even if that leads to death because we will live with Him forever.
