S: Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me."
O: Jesus was making three imperatives: turn, take and follow. Turn would mean to go opposite way from self centered ways, take up cross means to be devoted, and follow me to mean obedient to teaching.
A/P: Jesus, I need to turn, take and follow. Would you help me in identifying selfishness and then turning from it. May I be more devoted to you today than I was yesterday. IJN, amen.
