The Biggest Loser

Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it. Luke 17:33

It is rare that we celebrate losing, unless of course it’s unwanted weight. After all, our world is about winning and winning big!  

No wonder it’s difficult to grasp God’s logic – that when we let go of the things in this life, we actually gain much more. God instructs that the rewards we strive for – riches, power, and fame do not last, but our real treasure, found only through Christ, is eternal life with our Creator. Jesus surrendered his life to redeem all mankind. The question is will you surrender your earthly desires and trust God to direct your life for His greater good? Will you allow Jesus to be your Lord and follow Him wholeheartedly?

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Luke 9:25

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:19-20

Because God is eternal, I can surrender my will and follow Jesus.
