Lose Your Soul posted in General on 3/9/12 @ 10:39 PM by Japlace

Heres what the Word says:

Jesus Predicts His Death -
Then Jesus began to tell them that the Son of Man must suffer many terrible things and be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but three days later he would rise from the dead. As he talked about this openly with his disciples, Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things.
Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples, then reprimanded Peter. “Get away from me, Satan!” he said. “You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”

Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

Lose your life just to find it. Jesus wants you drop everything, just so he can restore you with HIS abundant life.

Dont cling to the past, it will just be harder when you lose it in the end.
We all will lose everything here on earth. Here Jesus shows how foolish Peter was for looking at the situation from his point of view.
Jesus wants our eyes to be seeing what the Father desires, through faith and of the Holy Spirit.
To do that, we must lose our life (flesh), so we do not lose our soul.

I know the topic says lose your soul, but that was to get your attention! And if you are still reading this, then it worked!

Verse Two:
Search your heart you know you can’t deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave his only son just to save us

Listen to the song though. You will be blessed

Amen! To add on what you said is sometimes we only concentrate on the short term things to come, and we tend to not look at the bigger picture such as things to come Gods plans, eternity in heaven, this life is so short the Bible compares to the life on earth as to vapor in the air compared to eternity.Lose our desires and adopt the desires that Jesus showed.
