As the days draw close to His being taken and crucified, He fairly lets His followers know that total commitment is necessary in order for them to overcome in the unfolding events.<p>Our testimony is our cross. Those who do not testify of Jesus Christ are not bearing their cross. What makes our testimony a cross is the pain of rejection and persecution that follows it. <p>Jesus testified of His HolySpiritFather and suffered rejection and death for it. Jesus is a stumblingblock to the rebellious unbeliever and so are we in our testimony of Him.
