Matthew 16:21–26 reminds us that we cannot worship both Jesus and ourselves. As followers of Christ, we are called to deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and follow Him. We are encouraged to trust God rather than relying on our own strength, desires, or sinful nature. When we allow sin and our desire to do things our own way to take over, we can easily put God and our faith aside. Instead, we are called to surrender ourselves to God, put our faith in Him, and remember that our lives are not about what we want, but about trusting God and following where He leads us.
