I woke up the other night with the the thought, Take up my cross and follow me.
This scripture popped into my head so I started praying about it.
The next morning guess what scripture appeared in my yearly bible.
 
Then I noticed the usual topics in the Doves site re who will be raptured.
Some believe few, others believe anybody who as ever said the prayer to ask Jesus into their life, the sinners prayer.
 
Now, if all that is required is the sinners prayer then why would Jesus tell some one to pick up "Their Cross" and follow him.
Why would he ask us to do that, if all that is required is to say the sinners prayer?
Think about it, he is asking us to do something, and we all know what it is and their is no escaping the reality of it.
 
Luke 8:34
 
Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said
,
“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.  If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?  Is anything worth more than your soul?  If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
