Abstract
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing Jesus' words in Matthew 16:24 instructing others to "deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." Hitchcock say this is one of the most misunderstood lines of the scriptures and explains in the sermon some of the ways in which this is commonly misunderstood. He then goes on to clarity what denying oneself and taking up the cross actually does mean. He explains that the true meaning of this part of the scriptures is being ready to sacrifice one's life in defense of the gospel, resisting unholy tendencies in one's human nature, holding firm to Christian principles despite the influence of the earthly world, and remaining true to one's religious principles even when surrounded by irreligious friends. Hitchcock ends with a few final remarks on what can be learned from this topic. Hitchcock has noted the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon on the first page.
