Jesus suggested the necessity of losing our lives for His sake and the sake of the good news. What cross have I born for the sake of the good news? What have I denied myself of for the sake of the gospel? What have I found for what I surrendered? What have I saved for what I lost? What treasures have I discovered? What riches that cannot be taken away? Those who save their lives for themselves leave no lasting legacy.
“For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.”Mark 8:35 (NASB)
