wow! i was wondering about this today. i didnt understand what that verse meant. so take up your cross and follow me is refering to your self-will? and if thats the case then as you follow him the cross will become lighter. "my yoke is light" your self-will will become God's will so that is why it becomes light? or am i way off base? :21:

I've understood that verse to mean that we are to be obedient to Christ to the extent of giving up our lives for Him (if that is what it came to). Just as Jesus carried His own cross for himself to be crucified, so we too need to be "carrying our cross" to the extent of being willing to sacrifice our very lives for the sake of Jesus. We put aside all of our selfish ambition, turn to Jesus (pick up our cross), and follow Him with our entire being.
