Watering Down the Cross?

Does Becoming Like Jesus

Make Us Jesus or Like Jesus?

Although I worked out the answers to many of my questions, there is still one that bothers me. Jesus said in the concluding verses of the Gospels that we were to pick up our cross and follow Him. I rather think these verses tend to give rise to unbelief in some by giving pause to doubt Jesus is directly the source author. 

This is where Jesus said to pick up our cross and follow Him. The only compelling verses that might support this are those that indicate we should be like Jesus and that Jesus said we would do greater things than Himself. 

My problem comes in when I wonder why after Jesus died on the Cross for us that we should then have a cross if our sins are forgiven. All this seems to cloud Jesus' supreme role on the Cross if we then can in any way duplicate His sacrifice with our own.
