John12:26
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me and where I am, there shall also my servant be : and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
This is much the same with that, Matth. 16.24 unless following here, be more restrained to suffering, let him follow me to my Cross; for otherwise it seemeth the same with serving; we must not be ready onely to do, but also, to die for Christ, to follow him to the Cross if he calleth us to it.
And if any man so serveth me, he shall be in Heaven where I am, Rom. 8.17. If we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified together. For my Father, with whom I am one in Nature, and Essence, will honour those that are my servants; so great a thing it is to be a servant to the Son of God. The father will honour those that ate so, and especially those who are so in suffering, with Eternal Life and Felicity.
