To be a Christian is to be part of Christ's body in the World. What happened to Jesus' body in the World? It was crucified. To be a Christian is to suffer. If you do not suffer, your heart is too hard.
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and TAKE UP THEIR CROSS and follow me." - Matthew 16:24
This is not idle talk on Jesus' part. He meant it.
