Mk8

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his life? What can a man give in exchange for his life?

Jesus was clear in His teaching about this life. Both the Pharisees and Herodians thought they had life all figured out, but they rejected the One who came to give life. Their rejection of Jesus sealed their eternity forever. In this life they had much. In the life to come they were bankrupt.

Jesus said, "Do you want to be my disciple?" If so you must deny yourself, take up your cross (die to self), and follow Him. Following the leader requires going where he goes, saying what he says and doing what he does? If these things are not true of us then we are not "following" Jesus.

Follow Jesus today.
