A Resounding NO

Matthew 16


24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. 25 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. 26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?”


My answer to the question Jesus asks at the end of the passage is a resounding “NO!” Nothing is worth more than my soul, and following Christ is the ONLY thing in my life that truly matters. I love Jesus and I live for Him daily. The things that I do are done for His glory alone. It is my desire to die to self and live in Christ always.
