More Than Life

Luke 21:18 KJV
But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

Now here is a striking thing; Jesus said that they would be
  • Hated
  • Persecute and
  • Some killed
But not a hair of their head would perish.

John Gill says that this is answered in one of three ways:
  • They would not perish except it be the will of God
  • They would not perish except their loss be restored
  • They would not perish but have a better life in eternity 
God puts much more stock in eternal/spiritual things than men do; it is one of our most common failings, or the cause of them.
  • Our short sightedness
  • Our inability to view heavenly things as having greater weight than the earthly
Men often see ideals[1] as being more important than life itself. Not often enough do we see eternal life as more important than life itself. 




[1] As in fighting for a cause, liberty, democracy, etc.
