Matthew Lesson 43: A Sword, Cross, and Cup
Matthew 10:34-42 is the text for this sermon entitled, "A Sword, Cross, and Cup."
This passage offers today's Christians three powerful metaphors of discipleship. Here, Jesus continues His instructions to disciples for what is sometimes called "The Limited Commission." He speaks of (1) a sword, (2) a cross, and (3) a cup of cold water.
Curtis discusses what these metaphors convey for our own journeys of discipleship. He ends with important questions for each of us as we apply the lesson in our own walk with Jesus.
