677 What does the cross mean PART 2

 

Scripture: Mattiyahu (Mat) 10:1-42 Pick up your cross what does that mean?

 

SYNOPSIS: In the Gospel of Mattiyahu (Mat) we see the Rabbi of all rabbi’s give this deeply profound teaching about the cross. We see a teaching that most people do not understand. The reason they don’t understand is, they are not real talmidim (disciples) of Messiah Yeshua. The reason they do not understand “the cross” is they follow jesus instead of YESHUA. To understand “the cross” you must be a talmid of YESHUA the Jewish Messiah. Get your pens ready for part 2.
