Matthew 16:24-26
Save Your Life by Following Jesus
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
John 16:12-14
The Holy Spirit Guides Us to All Truth
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
Maybe there lurks in the human heart a restless desire for Something or Someone...Perhaps the nature of our soul is to lurk...A lurking that desires man to have faith, hope, and love...God has created man so that he keeps this lurk until He meets Him...And this lurk is coming from the Holy Spirit...The Holy Spirit is trying to guide us to the Truth...The Holy Spirit is trying to lose this life, so it may find the One True Life...And in this we can see that our souls are linked to the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus...
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?...What can anyone give in exchange for their soul?...Whoever finds their life in Him, finds many things...He truly is the Human Savior, who knows who we are and what we need...When one has found Him, what else does one need?...Jesus teaches the eternities and He answers the questions to our personal life...
