The obvious daily lesson of the Cross is that you have to give up something good to get something better. Even today, each of us faces at least one decision where we'll keep what we have or we'll put it down to get something better. Christ always had gain in mind as He faced the Cross. The loss, the pain, the rejection, the agony... all of it... it was a price to pay. Pleasing His Father, Glory, Salvation for His... all this followed.
Questions:
Am I too busy for God today? What do I have to stop?
Is my spiritual life just another to-do item, important but not urgent? What do I have to give up?
Am I trying to live well in the world and live well for Christ? Is it tearing me apart? What do I have to lose to gain that which I can never lose?
