“顾惜自己生命的，必要丧掉生命；但为我牺牲生命的，必要得着生命。”
马太福音 10:39
“He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.”
Matthew 10:39
In a kingdom where the King is a servant (Mark 10:45), losing your life becomes the only way to find it. This is a startling message to a world focused on self-promotion and self-protection.
In practical terms, how can we “lose our life”? The answer is summed up in the word sacrifice. When we sacrifice, we put into practice Jesus’s way of living. Instead of grasping for our own wants and needs, we esteem the needs and well-being of others.
Jesus not only taught about sacrifice but He also lived it by giving Himself for us.
Nothing is really lost by a life of sacrifice. Henry Liddon
