More Precious Than the Whole World
Mark 8:33~38│ And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said
to them, “ If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take
up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. (34~35)
No matter how diligent you live, it is no use if you lose your
life. However, Jesus spoke about the cross, which was the
value of the Gospel that was much more important than life.
The Gospel is worthy enough for you to deny everything you
have and you can find this value in the midst of deep prayer.
What will you discover?
1. The Reason to Stake Your Life That Is More Precious Than the Whole World
A walk of faith is discovering what is more precious than the
whole world. Moses relinquished all the fame he had gained
in Egypt. However, the Israelites couldn’t let go of the place
where they had eaten and lived and didn’t have any problems.
Moses, the leader of the Exodus; Joshua and Caleb who
gave their covenantal confession among the twelve spies;
and David and Obadiah uncovered what was more precious
than the whole world and even their own lives. Through them,
God fulfilled His covenant and works.
2. The Method and Content for Staking Your Life
The Israelites who staked their lives to escape from Egypt
built a tabernacle. During the constant onslaught of Assyria,
Aram, and Philistia, God prepared the temple through David.
When the Israelites were taken captive by Babylon, God
allowed the temple to be rebuilt. This is the method of spiritual
war. The temple is a relevant place where people from the
237 nations can gain strength. Moreover, the content for
staking your life is
saving the 237 nations with the covenant of Christ who solved
all problems, the Kingdom of God, and “only Holy Spirit.”
God desires a church and a system that can fight the spiritual war
against Satan who is before the 237 nations of the world.
When you discover the value of what God desires and the
work that He will do, then fear disappears. Today, uncover
that value that isn’t afraid of even death.
