The most precious thing a person possesses is their life. Health, wealth and and all other blessings are dependent on this underlying state.
Yet Jesus over and over calls people to lay down their lives for the sake of the gospel. He is asking us to give God our most precious thing we own. Jesus never asks us to do what he is not willing to do himself so we have the greatest example of what happens when we heed this invitation.
The trial and cross that Jesus faced looked like the biggest waste of a promising life possible. All the miracles, teaching and leadership seemed to be handed over without a struggle.
This handing over of his life however brought the greatest blessing to the world in history. Jesus invites us to follow him in trusting our Father with our lives. Are you throwing your life away too?
