Just a Thought...

THE WORLD AND MOST RELIGIONS PREACH:
Self-worth, self-esteem, self-love, self-respect, self-reliance, self-confidence, self-assurance, self-regard.
JESUS PREACHES:
“…If any man will come after me, let him DENY HIMSELF, and take up his cross, and follow me (Matthew 16;24).”
“And when he (Jesus) had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him DENY HIMSELF, and take up his cross, and follow me (Mark 8:34).”
“And he (Jesus) said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him DENY HIMSELF, and take up his cross daily, and follow me (Luke 9:23).”
Have we missed something, somewhere?
