There’s a story in American media about a young man who had everything he wanted by the time he was 30. Perfect job. Perfect wife. Trophies on the wall. Billions in the bank. Despite all the success, he felt miserable.
Jesus was describing this when he said (Mt 16:26): “Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it.” Unfortunately, most people read our Lord’s words the wrong way.
