Answer Details
The statement of Jesus, "Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple," means that being a disciple of Jesus requires a complete and total commitment to Him. It means that his followers must be willing to bear their own crosses, which symbolize the trials, hardships, and sufferings that they will face for their faith in Him. It does not necessarily mean that they will physically die on a cross, but rather that they must be willing to endure whatever difficulties may come their way because of their faith. In other words, a true disciple of Jesus must be willing to put Him above everything else, even their own comfort and safety.
