[:en]This verse “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it” is found in the three Gospels. (Mat. 16:25. Mark 8:35. Luke 9:24, Luke 17:33)
What does it mean by “find their life”? “Find their life” means looking, getting, obtaining and procuring things and luxuries for his physical life now . “Lose it” means exposed to the wrath of God, everlasting punishment and destruction of soul. “Losing life for God’s sake” means willing to forgo the pleasures and comforts of life, giving generously for God’s ministry and suffer for the sake of Christ and Gospel. “Shall find it” means he shall enjoy immortal and eternal life with joy and pleasures in the kingdom of heaven.
Do you want to be happy now and mourn later? Or do you want to sacrifice now and be joyful forever?[:]
