"Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it." (Luke 17: 33)
We have here a great paradox. How can you lose your life by taking every sensible and possible measures to preserve and secure it? How can you keep your life by doing the opposite of what is common sense? Jesus reveals the answer to this paradox by His life and teaching. He, Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. By choosing to move away from Jesus in our thoughts, words and lifestyle, we move away from the life that we yearn for and that He offers.
"I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly." (John 10: 10) To be alive in Christ is to enjoy the abundant life He promises.
