We talk a lot about resurrection. What about the death that must
come first? Through story and biblical insight, Rick James reminds
us that when Jesus tells us to deny ourselves, take up our cross,
and follow him, he is describing a path of death, not a path to
death.
Giving up our own plans in order to meet someone else's needs.
Allowing God to shape our dreams, even as we lose a relationship, a
job, a hoped-for future. Being alert to these daily opportunities
to die to ourselves is how we discover that every act of dying,
done in faith, leads to spiritual growth.
As we learn to embrace the little deaths of everyday existence,
we lose our taste for lifeless religiosity. Our appetite for a
thriving, vibrant life in Christ grows--and our own experience
motivates others to live out their extraordinary mission on earth.
In truth, death is not an ending. It is the only way to experience
abundant life.
