'The way to waste our life
The way to waste our life
"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it." Luke 9:24
The way to waste our life , is . . .
to be very protective of it,
to hold it back from dangerous duty and costly service,
to save it from the work of self-denial and sacrifice.
The way to make our life an eternal success , is to do with it what Jesus did with His — present it a living sacrifice to God, to be used wholly for Him.
Some say He threw His life away — and so it certainly seemed , up to the morning of His resurrection.
But no one would say that now of Christ. The throwing away of His life — led to its glory.
In no other way can we make anything worthy of our life. Saving is losing. It is losing life in devotion to Christ and His service, which saves a life for Heavenly honor and glory.
