2015 Lenten Devotional: The Exalted Christ

by Robert Farmer

Overview

The Exalted Christ is a Lenten Devotional based on Matthew 16:24.
A faithful and obedient servant never seeks to honor himself, but rather, honor his master. If we lived our lives having done nothing more than exalt Jesus Christ, it would be a life well lived, a full life, a good life. Exactly what does that kind of life look like? How do we exalt Christ? The answer can be found in these words: Then Jesus said to His disciples, �If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.� (Matthew 16:24 NASB)

Over the next 6 weeks, we will walk through an examination of nineteen words spoken by Jesus in Matthew 16:24. We will see the penance and contrition in �If anyone wishes to come after Me� as we review the facets of a godly life. We will explore the discipline in �he must deny himself� as we uncover pitfalls obstructing a godly life. We will examine the devotion in �take up his cross� as we discuss tenants of a servant�s life. And finally, we will walk through the ramifications in the simple but profound command: �follow Me.� May we all examine ourselves before our Savior as we seek to serve and honor�The Exalted Christ. The goal of this devotional is to focus the church�s attention on the exalted Christ, on the price He paid for our sin, and the glory and honor that is His� and His alone.
