Give it up.

Yesterday we looked at Matthew 16:24 which told us to deny ourselves, take up the cross and follow Jesus. This is the next verse:



Matthew 16:25

25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.



This verse is pretty straight forward. If we want to save our life we must lose it. Well how does one lose their life? They must surrender it to Jesus. This is the ONLY way to heaven. Accepting Christ as Savior and giving control of our life to Him. The verse goes on to say if we give our lives up for Jesus we actually find life. So many folks are trying to find peace and the void in their life in so many ways. Sex, drugs, alcohol, money, relationships, and the list goes on and on. Jesus is telling us in this verse to truly find life give yourself up and follow Him with everything you have. We will not live life to the fullest until we are doing what God designed us for....to worship and serve HIM!



Take a little time to meditate on this verse....let God speak to you!



Have a great weekend!
