Keys

Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.

Matthew 10:39

 

 

I believe that most of you are familiar with this saying in the Bible. I think it is mighty powerful and says in a short way what might be expected of us- those who would claim to follow Jesus.

 

What is my life that I must lose it?

-money?

-travel?

-toys?

-kids?

-spouse?

-career?

-dreams?

-personal recognition?

-friends?

-health?

-happiness?

 

Jesus suggests that for his sake, all those valued things above are of which I must be willing to let go.

 

It’s not that Jesus says we will lose all these things. Jesus want us to know that knowing and loving him above all other things is the manner in which our life will be given us.

 

Focusing and placing material things above that which is immaterial and spiritual, will simply make them like the keys we lost the moment we walked in the front door.
