In our normal life’s experience, keeping and saving go together. We save our money by keeping it in the bank or in another investment. We save up the food grown in a garden by canning it and keeping it on a shelf. But when it comes to our lives – and above all, our life with God – it is not in keeping, but losing our lives that we save them. We learn from Jesus today that life in Him involves a trade – giving up the life of our own making and design in order to embrace His abundant life. Today’s message is “Losing and Saving,” based on Mark 8:27-38.
