so many...

Mark 8

34 Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, (Jesus) said, 

"If any of you wants to be my follower, 

you must turn from your selfish ways, 

take up your cross, 

and follow me.


35 If you try to hang on to your life, 

you will lose it. 

But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, 

you will save it.


36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?

37 Is anything worth more than your soul?



There are SO MANY people I think about, or hear about, or see in the media, who need to be reminded of all these words of Jesus.
