“Learning obedience is a cross which we will have too, if we want to follow Him. “If any man wants to follow Me (to My destiny), let him take up his own cross and follow Me.” But this is not the cross which He lays on us; it is something that we may voluntarily resist or accept. It is a cross distinct from trials and testings that He brings upon us. It does amount to great suffering, but it is a suffering in which we have the power to resist if we don’t want to take it.”
