John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Mark 8:34

And when he called the people — To hear a truth of the last importance, and one that equally concerned them all. Let him deny himself — His own will, in all things small and great, however pleasing, and that continually: And take up his cross — Embrace the will of God, however painful, daily, hourly, continually. Thus only can he follow me in holiness to glory.
