Matthew 16:24
Ah! The way of selflessness! That is the great pursuit of the Christian life. Indeed, it is the great pursuit of all of life. This one Person, Jesus Christ, showed us this perfect way. And the world has been trying to make sense of it ever since. Our greatest minds have been dumbfounded by its stunning simplicity. Out most artistic hands have tried to capture its grandeur. Our wisest souls are still mining the depths of its vast storehouse. Jesus has quite simply set before us the best way. He has set the true goal of life before our feet and challenged us to tread the narrow, but rewarding, path.
