WE all have dreamed at some points in our lives of what it would be like if we were a millionaire. You would have lavish parties, and a huge house with a pool and a butler. Your closest friends are celebrities and you have very successful children. You would have the whole world, and have a carefree life. Sounds like a good life, right? The one thing that is missing is Jesus in your life. You have spent your whole life building yourself up that you left Jesus in the dust.
Now most of us won't be millionaires, but we each have our own definitions of success, and our own plan of where we want to be in 10, 15, 20 years. Maybe at the end of your life, you feel like you did everything you could do and you have no regrets. You have gained the whole world, but was Jesus a part of it. If he wasn't a part of it, then you have lost your soul. Luke 9:25 says, "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his soul." You are only on earth for 100 years but you have the rest of eternity to either spend with Jesus or not. Everything in this world will pass, and if you spend your whole life trying to get what temporary and not whats eternal, then you have lost. I would rather be homeless, broke, barely living if it means that I can spend eternity with Jesus. For the verse before says, "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but who ever loses his life will save it." If you lose all control of your life to Jesus, then you have gained a spot in heaven for eternity. If you choose to not let Jesus come into your heart, then you will lose a spot in heaven. The song "Lose My Soul" by Toby Mac and Kirk Franklin and Mandisa is a song that speaks directly to this topic. If you have a free moment please listen to the song, and decide if you want to gain the whole world and lose your soul.
