The Way of the Cross Leads Home: Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus - (Matthew 16:24-28; Mark 8:34-9:1; Luke 9:23-27)

THE CROSS IS THE ONLY WAY



Matthew, Chapter 16






Take Up Your Cross 
and Follow Jesus
(Matthew 16:24-28; Mark 8:34-9:1; Luke 9:23-27)




Matthew 16
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone
would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 
25 Forwhoever would save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 
26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?
Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 
27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his
angels in the glory of his Father,
and then he will repay each person
according to what he has done. 
28 Truly, I say to you, there are some
standing here who will not taste deathuntil
they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”












The Way of the Cross 
Leads Home



He Built a Bridge!

a)     
 
 

1. I must needs go home by the way of the cross,
There’s no other way but this;
I shall ne’er get sight of the gates of light,
If the way of the cross I miss.
 

Refrain

The way of the cross leads home,
The way of the cross leads home,
It is sweet to know as I onward go,
The way of the cross leads home.
 

2. I must needs go on in the blood sprinkled way,
The path that the Savior trod,
If I ever climb to the heights sublime,
Where the soul is at home with God.

3. Then I bid farewell to the way of the world,
To walk in it never more;
For the Lord says,Come, and I seek my home,
Where He waits at the open door.
