The Way of the Cross
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said:
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
If prioritize our earthly concerns over our spiritual concerns then eventually we will forfeit our souls. To prioritize following Christ over our earthly concern is the only way to save our souls. In the end, what are willing to give inorder to save our souls when the gates of hell is staring down on us? Everything I guess. So while we still have time, let's set our priorities straight.
