Luke 9:27
The Message (MSG)
23-27Then he told them what they
could expect for themselves: "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me
lead. You're not in the driver's seat—I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace
it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice
is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What good would it do
to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? If any of you is
embarrassed with me and the way I'm leading you, know that the Son of Man will
be far more embarrassed with you when he arrives in all his splendor in company
with the Father and the holy angels. This isn't, you realize, pie in the sky by
and by. Some who have taken their stand right here are going to see it happen,
see with their own eyes the kingdom of God."
