The Way of the Cross

Mark 8:34  Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Given that Christ had not been crucified yet, his reference to taking up your cross is particularly interesting. Perhaps it made sense to the crowd because, at that time, crucification was common. If anyone has a better explanation, please post a comment.
