Christianity offers the promise of glory and life in God's kingdom, but as the gospel of Mark often teaches, suffering and self-denial come before this glory. But what is the purpose of self-denial? And why did Jesus insist on it? In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey explores the concept of self-denial in multiple spheres of life, echoing Jesus' call for all to join Him in self-denial.
