Matthew 16:24-27
"Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds."
"The inescapable conclusion is that Jesus taught that those who would follow Him were to love Him to the point of giving their lives for Him if necessary. He would be the center of their living and might become the cause of their dying. Self-centered living, even if apparently benign, was to have no place among His followers. Jesus' terms of service are such that no one following Him can live a life ultimately centered upon self, family, houses, lands, comforts, familiar circumstances, social advancements, security, or even fulfillment in ministry."

"IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS!"
"WE WERE SAVED & CHOSEN TO FULFILL GOD'S MISSION OF REDEMPTION!"
"IF WE FAIL TO FOCUS ON OUR GODLY CALLING, WE WILL LOSE OUR PASSION FOR THE LOST & REGAIN A TASTE FOR THE THINGS OF THE WORLD!"
Today, I would like to challenge everyone to:
"BE MISSION-MINDED!"
"AS LONG AS THERE IS BREATH IN OUR LUNGS, OUR PURPOSE IS YET TO BE ACCOMPLISHED HERE ON EARTH!"
"LET'S TELL THIS WORLD ABOUT JESUS!!!"
