In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 16, Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it . . . the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay each according to his conduct." The Lord is speaking as God here. Again, he compels us to believe that he spoke the truth or didn't know what he's talking about—we are cornered!
