And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].
-Amplified Bible
How does Pip deny himself (set aside his selfish interests)?
Pip is the main character of Charles Dickens' novel Great expectations.
- With his friendship with Magwitch, Pip begins his journey toward atonement; he goes from detesting Magwitch's appearance, manners, and social standing to seeing his humanity and, ultimately, falling in love with him.
- He returns home to make amends with Joe and propose to Biddy.
- Pip has at last taken ownership of his life, debts, and sins. He is thrifty, pays his debts in full, and never forgets to write Joe and Biddy.
His lessons in the latter section of the book focus on the ideas of personal accountability and the consequence of choices. Nothing in life is free, thus one must be willing to live with the results of their decisions.
