🕯️ Traditions @JESUS BIBLE VERSE

[Grangermiya]

Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. At pinalapit niya sa kaniya ang karamihan pati ng kaniyang mga alagad, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Kung ang sinomang tao ay ibig sumunod sa akin, ay tumanggi sa kaniyang sarili, at pasanin ang kaniyang krus, at sumunod sa akin.

 

[OrangeMoon]

To deny yourself means to forget your own self-interest. It doesn't mean to abandon worldly comforts like a monk or to strictly control one's actions via spiritual disciplines, but to refuse rights and privileges that get in the way of God's kingdom.
