“Don’t die and discover that you never lived.” David Henry Thoreau

We ordinarily think that people live and then die. But Christ asks us to see life in reverse. He has explained that life comes after death. If you have ever denied yourself in order to serve others, then you know something of what this means. He died so that we might live. As He died and rose again, He asks that we die to self and rise again to live of life of serving others. Our final death and resurrection is preceded by this daily death and daily resurrection.

“…and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” 2Co5.15 NKJV “Conversations Within” ts 4/7/2019
