Matthew 16:25 KJV For whoever will save his life shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Insight 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. Challenge 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.
