Encouragement for your daily
walk with God
A Christ follower knows that if
he/she wants to experience life, he/she must give up life. Yes, you heard me
right—lose to gain. That is counter intuitive, especially in a culture that
daily demands its rights.
We have the perfect example of
this. It’s none other than Christ, our Savior and Lord. He had a genuine right
to the comforts of heaven. And yet, He didn’t hold on to it. And we have no
biblical record that He considered it too costly a sacrifice to make
(Philippians 2:5-11). Because of that, God exalted Him. Furthermore, He brought
spiritual healing to a sin-sick world.
Don’t make the mistake in
thinking that to gain life you must “claim your rights.” That is spiritual
nonsense and/or suicide. Losing your life will enable you to live the abundant
life that Christ promised (John 10:10).
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. (Matthew 16:25)
