Who do you Live for? Luke 6:20-26

What is the meaning of life? The present is so real and needful, how not to care for the well-being of present moments? We need to live with a perspective of the present and eternal, for this body is just our temporary dwelling. 2 Cor 5:1 NLT For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.

Lesson:

  • The real cost of living for self - present enjoyment for eternal doom
    • Mark 8:34-38 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
  • 子曰:“富与贵,是人之所欲也;不以其道得之,不处也。贫与贱,是人之所恶也;不以其道得之,不去也。君子去仁,恶乎成名?君子无终食之间违仁,造次必于是,颠沛必于是。

    • The Master said, "Wealth and honor are what people desire. If they cannot be obtained through proper means, one should not seek them. Poverty and low status are what people detest. If they cannot be avoided through proper means, one should not discard them. If a noble person abandons benevolence, how can they achieve renown? A noble person never strays from benevolence, not even for the duration of a meal. In moments of haste, they uphold it; in times of urgency and disorder, they adhere to it. "
Live righteously with consideration for others and eternal perspective. Have you prepared for the eternal?
