Matthew 16:24 (NET): "Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.'"
Colyn started meeting regularly with Dante for discipleship. At first, it wasn’t easy. Dante encouraged him to dig deeper into the Word and to spend focused time in prayer each day. There were times Colyn felt too busy or too tired, but Dante reminded him that discipleship requires commitment and discipline. Through these sessions, Colyn began to see that many of his struggles were rooted in areas he hadn’t fully surrendered to Christ. Dante explained that embracing the philosophy of the cross—a life of self-denial and obedience—was essential to true freedom.
One day, Colyn asked Dante how he managed to find freedom from his old habits. Dante explained that he found deliverance by continually choosing to die to his old self and letting the Spirit guide him each day. "The more I embraced the cross," Dante said, "the more I realized that freedom comes when I let go of my own desires and fully depend on Christ’s strength." He shared Galatians 5:24: "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
As Colyn embraced this cross-centered mindset, he began experiencing real change. He found a growing strength to overcome the temptations that once held him captive, and he learned that discipleship was a journey leading to true freedom through self-denial, obedience, and walking by the Spirit.
Go into today with a renewed commitment to discipleship, remembering that the path to freedom in Christ requires letting go of self and taking up the cross. When you walk closely with Jesus, He empowers you to overcome the flesh and live out God’s extraordinary plans for your life.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me the grace to fully embrace the philosophy of the cross. Help me to grow as Your disciple, walking by Your Spirit and finding freedom in Your truth. Amen.
