LIFE
Look Closely: This short teaching is densely packed. Imagine the conversations among the crowd and the disciples as they tried to process all that Jesus was saying.
-What does it mean, and what does it look like to deny yourself and take up your cross?
-What does Jesus mean when He says, “Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.”
-How can we gain our life by losing it?
-What do you think it means to be ashamed of Jesus?
It will require a lifetime of prayer and study to learn only some of what it means to follow Jesus like this. Does that sound discouraging? Hopefully not! Be encouraged that a lifetime of learning from Jesus and following Him is the best kind of LIFE we could ever hope for.
Challenge: What is God saying to you? What are you going to do about it?
