For our main dish of the day, we turn to the words of our Lord Jesus written in John 12:25:
Joh 12:25
(25) He who loves his life shall lose it. And he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
He states categorically that any one of us who delights in his life in this world shall lose his life.
And He goes further to reveal the prerequisite for you and me to live in our heritage of life eternal even while we are yet in our mortal bodies.
He declares that the precondition for us live in eternal life is to “hate our lives in this world”.
What does our Lord Jesus mean by “this world”?
As we had seen previously, this world is characterized by these three parameters revealed by His Apostle in 1John 2:15 & 16:
1. The irresistible impulse to gratify the inherent nature of the devil we were all born with before we were born of God.
2. The insatiable desire for the thing money can buy.
3. Defining oneself by the values of the world of Satan.
How then do we hate our lives in this world?
We begin our quest to respond to our question by looking at the church in the wilderness.
After she was delivered out of Egypt, the whole nation of Israel saw The Pleasant Land through the eyes of the twelve spies as is written for us in Numbers 13.
We pray that you are nourished with the Truth, by the Spirit of Truth, even as you continue to listen in the name of Jesus Christ.
