Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will find it. (Matthew 16:24-25 CSB)
Take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:29-30 CSB)
Following Jesus is both difficult and easy. We have to take up our cross, which is difficult, and put on His yoke, which is easy. Losing our life is difficult. But if we do not lose our temporal life, how can we gain our eternal life?
