Take Up Your Cross

June 12, 2024 • Pastor Dave Blaha • Luke 14:25–35

Just over 80 years ago, men volunteered to embark on what General Eisenhower called the "Great Crusade." This photograph, taken on the evening of June 5 1944, is of the general speaking with platoon leader Wallace Strobel, age 22, and platoon leader in the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. He was one of many thousands who would jump that night into occupied France ahead of the Normandy beach landings to take place the next morning.


General Eisenhower finished his official order with the following:


"Let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."


What does this have to do with Matthew 10:34-39?


The only way to know is to view this evening and find out!
