To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He taught them, " that the Son of man" himself must suffer every indignity from "the hands of sinful men, " and that it was useless for any one to think of " coming after him, " who was not pre- pared to " take up his cross daily, and follow him. " Surely then, adversity, sorrow, and suffering, must be best for us, must tend to bring us more nearly to a resemblance of our heavenly Master. Surely, prosper- ity and success in the world can never be objects of anxious desire to the sincere Christi...an, if there is dan- ger of their making him so unlike that perfect example to which he looks.
Let it also be considered, that a life of prosperity, and ease, and freedom from trouble, such a life is the least suited for the exercise of those graces and virtues which are peculiarly Christian, and by which our souls are to be fitted for an entrance into that blessed land where sin and sorrow shall be no more.
