A.W. Tozer emphasizes that carrying one's cross is a voluntary act of obedience to Christ, distinguishing it from the general adversities faced by all. The true cross is borne by those who choose to follow Christ, fully aware of the commitment and consequences involved. A spiritual person is deeply attached to Christ, committed to His Lordship, and obedient to His commandments, viewing life through God's perspective. This spiritual insight allows believers to evaluate situations as God does, leading to a deeper understanding and humility. Ultimately, the spiritual man embraces the pain of revelation, recognizing his own limitations in light of God's wisdom.
