And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. ... For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:23, 26, 2727 ESV)
Fulfillment through sacrifice? Gain through loss? Yes, that is the bottom line. We will see in the end that losing ourselves in Him brings eternal reward - that we will not be disappointed or ashamed, but rejoicing that we made the best investment decision ever.
