サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In Luke 9:23–25, Jesus says,
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?”
Notice that Jesus doesn’t just tell us to deny ourselves for no reason – He ties it directly to our own good. God wants you to deny yourself because, ultimately, that’s the best thing for you. It’s the only way for you to be truly free.
If you follow the world’s advice and “just do you, follow your own truth,” it will not ultimately lead to satisfaction but to suffering. You’ll become a slave to sin, bound to your own selfish desires.
But when you deny yourself and put your life – and your wants – into God’s hands, you’ll be set free.
