The life of Hernando Cortéz is the story of how one man with a handful of loyal soldiers overcame a progressive Indian culture of over one million. There was nothing in the character of this young man that set him apart from others, yet once chosen to be the leader of this great Conquest he could move only one direction: Forward. Months of terrible tragedy did not discourage him from the one goal, the Conquest of the Aztec Nation.Whatever may be thought of the Conquest in a moral view, regarded as a military achievement it must fill us with astonishment. Cortéz and a handful of adventurers, indifferently armed and equipped, landed on the shores of a powerful empire inhabited by a fierce and warlike race, and forced their way into the interior.This they did without knowledge of the language or of the land, without chart or compass to guide them, without any idea of the difficulties they were to encounter, totally uncertain whether the next step might bring them on a hostile nation, or on a desert, feeling their way along in the dark, as it were. This book, then, details their successes and failures until the goal was reached.

Jesus clarified the requirements of every believer. He simply said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me” (Matt. 16:24). Sounds simple enough…until you begin to break it down.In today’s affluent society, most are not accustomed to denying themselves anything, even if they don’t have the means to pay for it. Personal responsibility is at an all-time low. When tragedy strikes, we look for someone or something to blame. Certainly not my fault.Jesus requires us to take up a cross. Well, that’s easy enough…gold, silver, or platinum? But don’t forget the cross is not jewelry to be worn; on the contrary, it is an instrument of death. Our death.Have an addiction that you are struggling with? Perhaps you have concluded that God made you to live as a homosexual. God’s fault there. And that alcohol or drug addiction, well, it’s a disease. Not my fault there either.So open the pages and take a look. Dare you. The hard truth for all is that the Bible, God’s Word, is a mirror. You and I must see ourselves, in light of His Scriptures, as He sees us. But read on. The Bible contains all the power and tools you and I need to obey Jesus’ command. So take up your cross and follow Him!
