Jesus begins to explain the centrality of the cross-centered life for His disciples. From the moment that we are brought to life by the Holy Spirit's regenerating power, and we trust in Christ as our Savior, we embark on a new journey. It changes everything: our desires, outlook, aspirations, relationships, and goals. We follow after Jesus Christ, who bought us with the price of His own death at the cross.
Mark 8:34-38
