Mark 10:21-22²¹Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. ²²And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. (Mark 10:21‑22)

A man said to me some time ago, “How do you account for the fact that Mohammed began his work six hundred years after Christ and yet he has now more disciples than Christ?”

I replied, “A man can be a disciple of Mohammed and not deny himself, not have any cross. He can live in the darkest, blackest, foulest sin; but if any man will be a disciple of Jesus Christ he must come out from the world. He must take up his cross daily and follow Jesus.”
