The act of taking up your cross implies your readiness for the victimhood of scorning and mockery.
The act of taking up your cross en route to the place of execution shows your submission to the authority against which you had previously rebelled.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing."
2 Tim 4:7-8
"But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me."
1 Cor 15:10
Thanks GCMC, for the wonderful opportunity.
And as usual, we get the joy, God gets the glory.
