The 'crucifixion' of our flesh is therefore an on-going process which only begins at baptism, hence Jesus told the believer to take up his cross each day and follow him, as it were, in the procession towards Calvary (Luke 9:23; 14:27).
Basi ‘kusulubisha’ mwili wetu ni jambo linaloendelea ambalo lilianza pia kwenye ubatizo, ndivyo alimweleza aaminiye aubebe msalaba wake kila siku na amfuate, kama ilivyokuwa katika maandamano ya kuelekea Kalvari (Lk 9:23; 14:27).
