00:00Jesus is calling men unto himself. In this call, God is calling us to deny ourselves.
00:07He says, if a man is going to be a follower after me, he must deny himself.
00:13Help us. We naturally want to protect ourselves.
00:18We want to please ourselves, promote ourselves, comfort ourselves, defend ourselves.
00:25But Jesus says we must come to a point where flesh no longer sits on the throne.
00:32It's not about what I want to do, but it's about following Christ and where he wants to take me.
00:39Oh, Lord, help us to be led by you. That should be our prayer.
00:43I would that we would be led after God.
00:56Amen.
