Mark 8:35-36 (NKJV)\u00a0 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel\u2019s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul<\/span>?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lose what? Our life, for Jesus’ sake and the gospel\u2019s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Boy, what a serious thing that Jesus is saying here. How do we lose our life for Him?<\/p>\n

By letting go or giving up\u00a0all<\/em><\/strong> of our selfish, personal ambitions. By desiring Him more than anything else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By choosing the path He\u00a0has for us, we give up all our own desires, denying ourselves of the things we want or think we need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wow. This is a hard one to swallow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We may say, \u201chow in the world can we live like that? How can we not want, desire or even need something?”. It’s seemingly impossible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The thing to remember is that this means we no longer put those things first, not necessarily that we don\u2019t want them or even need them.<\/p>\n

It’s important to note, though, that if we prioritize and keep Christ first and above all that other stuff, our needs and wants will definitely change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Don\u2019t gain the world and lose our soul. It\u2019s not even close to being worth it. The things in this world are nothing in comparison to our life with Jesus. Nothing!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
