Matthew 16:25 KJV
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
These are incredibly powerful words and if they had been spoken by anyone other than the Lord Jesus Christ we would very likely dismiss them completely. Lose our lives for His sake? Truly Christ asks more of us than anyone could imagine. He asks for all of us.
Not the majority of us
Not the best of us
All of us
He expects that we will give our lives to Him.
And nothing else will do if we would have life with Christ. He will not accept a portion. It is all or nothing.
Is that how we have come to Christ? Have we lost our lives for His sake and found that He has a life for us that is far greater than any life e could have found for ourselves? Or have we merely given to Him some small part that suits us? That might make a person fell good about themselves for the time being but it will never give a person eternal life.
Lose your life for Christ's sake. It is the only way to find life.
