Sovereignty of self is at the very heart of sin. That part of our sinful nature which feels we have the right to rule our own lives. And we’re surrounded by a culture shaped by this mentality. Jesus wants us to know from the outset, that the gospel is not another ‘add on’ to an old life. You need to ‘sell it all’ if you want to get the treasure in the field. Don’t think Jesus bore the cross so you don’t have to. He’s just modelled what it looks like (for us) to bear a cross, die to an old life and enter into a new one! He then calls us to do the same.
