If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. (Matthew 16:25 NLT) Devotional 💕 The possibility of losing their lives was very real for the disciples as well as for Jesus. ☝Real discipleship implies real commitment-pledging our 💞 whole existence to his service. ☝If we try to save our physical life from death, pain, or discomfort, we may risk losing our true eternal life. ☝If we protect ourselves from pain, we begin to die spiritually and emotionally. Our lives turn inward, and we lose our intended purpose. ☝When we give our lives in service to 👑 Christ, however, we discover the real purpose of living.
