Life is a precious gift, and its true purpose is found in spending it for the gospel. We are all destined to face mortality, and the question becomes: how will we choose to live in the time we have? The temptation to preserve our lives, to cling to youth and vitality, is strong. Yet, this pursuit is ultimately futile. Instead, we are called to let go of our lives, to lose them in the service of something greater. This is not a call to recklessness but to intentional sacrifice. By spending our lives for the gospel, we find true life. This is a promise that stands firm.
The paradox of losing life to find it is central to our faith. It challenges us to evaluate our priorities and to consider what we are truly living for. Are we merely trying to extend our days, or are we investing them in eternal purposes? The gospel invites us to a life of purpose, where every moment is an opportunity to reflect God's love and truth. In letting go of our own desires and ambitions, we open ourselves to the abundant life that Jesus promises.
This message is a call to action. It urges us to examine our lives and to make conscious choices about how we spend our time, energy, and resources. It is a reminder that life is not about self-preservation but about self-giving. In this giving, we discover the fullness of life that God intends for us. It is a life marked by joy, peace, and fulfillment, found not in holding on but in letting go.
