| Most of us are out to succeed and to achieve our own ends. We spend our energy striving to accomplish our own goals and aims in this life. But God operates a Lost and Found Department. “He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it” (Matthew 10:39). This is where a person loses himself in Jesus Christ, where they exchange self-realization for Christ-realization. It takes out all the fever and strain, the mad drive to reach some goal this crazy world has set, or some mark of achievement we have put up for ourselves. Today millions crack up in the insane jumble and whirl of worldly society. But those who live for Christ find eternal gain. “He shall receive an hundredfold now in this time … and in the world to come eternal life” (Mark 10:30). That’s why Paul exhorted the Christians in Rome, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1). |
