Luke 9:24 · KJV

"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."

King James Version

Passage Context

²²Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

²³And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

²⁵For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

²⁶For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

Devotional Reflection

All I have to do is find myself. It won't ever happen. We don't "find ourselves" or "find our life" by looking for it. We find it when we lose ourselves in something or someone bigger than ourselves. We find our life by giving it to Jesus and the work of His Kingdom.

Prayer

Take my life and each breath I take and use them for Your glory, O Master and Maker of all that lives and breathes. I hope that everything I say and do today pleases You. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
