Subject: What Did Jesus Mean When He told his disciples to "take up their cross and follow" him?

Jesus told his disciples, "Take up your cross and follow me."

What did he mean by this?

Do we treat the Bible in its cultural and historical context, checking to see who is speaking, and specifically to whom he is speaking? Or do we extrapolate to make this a "commandment" to all Christians in all ages of the world?

Regardless of whether I agree or disagree with any comments made in this thread, I will not be answering this question, since I am the one who posted it.

George
