In today's Gospel reading from Matthew16, there are some memorable sayings by Jesus. (1) "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." (2) "What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?" (3) "For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct." All these sayings affect us directly, and we must deal with them. Jesus is the only one we cannot avoid and cannot afford to ignore!
