Randy, the brother I was traveling with, and I both looked at one another. We
discerned the parable immediately. The beast nature that Adamic man is enslaved to
struggles to receive the message of the cross. If the beast nature is ruling in a man’s life,
then he will vomit back up the teaching of the cross. He is unable to receive it.
There is much which is offensive in the message of the cross. If you have truly
understood Christ’s invitation, then you too will struggle to receive it. Does not Christ
always link taking up the cross to His invitation to follow Him? Only by crucifying the flesh
is any man or woman able to follow in His footsteps.

I Peter 2:21
For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving
you an example for you to follow in His steps...

Is this the invitation you have heard and accepted? Or have you been told by man that
you need only to believe in Christ and confess Him? At this hour Christ is inviting men and
women to “follow” Him. Will you follow? Will you surrender your life to go wherever He
leads, and to do whatever He asks of you? Yahshua has no lesser invitation. There is no
other path that leads to life.
