This Week's Message
"Keep It, Lost It"
Jason Fischer
| John 12:20-26
What does it really mean to follow Jesus with our whole lives?
In John 12:20–26, Jesus shares a challenging truth about what it means to be His disciple. He tells us that the way to truly find life is not by holding tightly to it, but by surrendering it to Him. It sounds like a contradiction: If we try to keep our lives, we’ll lose them. But when we’re willing to let go and follow Jesus, we discover what real life is.
Jesus doesn’t simply call us to believe in Him from a distance. He invites us to follow Him, serve Him, and trust Him with every part of our lives. And as we learn to loosen our grip on the things we’re tempted to protect, we discover the freedom of living fully surrendered to Him.
