Daily Devotional

Jesus declared, "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it." In God’s kingdom, holding tightly to our lives—our plans, comfort, and security—results in forfeiting what truly matters. Paradoxically, surrendering ourselves for Jesus and His gospel brings genuine life—a life not rooted in fleeting achievements but anchored in Christ. Lent challenges us to lay down our self-preservation instincts and trust Jesus with all of who we are and all we possess. Our hope is not in avoiding sacrifice, but in losing our lives for His sake, knowing that He is trustworthy. True gain is found not in self-sufficiency, but in radical surrender. Jesus’ resurrection assures us that loss given for Him leads to eternal reward.
