Sacrifice

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.
Matthew 10v 39

How can we lose our life ? The answer is summed up in the word ' sacrifice ' . When we sacrifice , we put into practice Jesus' way of living. Instead of grasping for our own wants and needs, we esteem the needs and wellbeing of others.
Jesus not only talked about sacrifice but He also lived it by giving Himself for us. His death on the cross became the ultimate expression of the heart of the King who lived up to His own words; " Greater love has no one than this: to lay ones life down for one's friend"
Bill Crowder

Nothing is really lost by a life of sacrifice. Henry Liddon
