Gain the World and Lose Your Soul?

Are we pursuing the right kind of success? As we continue our series on the questions of Jesus, the question we dive into today is: 'What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?' This profound inquiry invites us to examine our priorities and the state of our inner lives. Brock challenges us to reconsider our definition of greatness through the lens of Matthew 16:24-28. We explore the lives of renowned athletes who achieved external success but struggled internally, contrasting this with Jesus' teachings on true fulfillment. Are we feeding our flesh or nurturing our souls? The message encourages us to seek a success that's measured not by worldly standards, but by growth in love, humility, and Christ-likeness. It's a call to choose heroes whose lives exemplify peace, joy, and love - ultimately pointing us to Jesus as the perfect model of true greatness.
