Hello! and happy TGIF to all of us, GUYS. Our "food for the soul" this Friday:
THE GOOD NEWS (05 August 2016)
"Then JESUS said to HIS disciples, 'If you want to follow ME, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow ME. For whoever chooses to save his life will lose it, but the one who loses his life for MY sake will find it. What will one gain by winning the whole world if he destroys himself? There is nothing you can give to recover your own self.
Know that the Son of Man will come in the Glory of the FATHER with the holy angels, and HE will reward each one according to his deeds. Truly, I tell you, there are some here who will not die before they see the Son of Man coming as king'." - Matthew 16:24-2
(Whoever chooses to save his life will lose it. JESUS draws attention to the great option of every human life: we cannot discover GOD; we cannot make a success of life without sacrificing it. All the rest is idle talk. The option terrifies us in the same measure that life for us seems promising. It is also the reason why marriage and family frighten many.
He will find his life. In 10:39 we translated this phrase: "benefit one's life".)
