Want to know how to save your one life? In Mark 8:22-9:1 Jesus says, "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it." In other words we need to let Jesus be in charge - even in suffering.
In fact we are called to embrace suffering (take up our cross) instead of running from it. As we follow Jesus, He will show us how.
Jesus goes on to say that self-help and getting everything we want is not help. But self sacrifice is the way to saving our one life.
Losing all for Jesus is a recipe that cannot fail. Only He has the ingredients for our one good life.
