Let me die to the world and what it offers. Let the world die to me.

What does the world offer me?

Fame and fortune? Yeah, perhaps. Freedom to do my own thing? That’s for sure.

Treasures and trinkets? Indeed! I’m still enticed by “bigger and better and more.” (And I would still like to own house, big and self-designed.)

Comfort and pleasure and leisure? Yes, lots of that, at least in my part of the world.

When these things draw me, I need to remember Jesus and His cross:

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world” (Galatians 6:14).

Let me die to the world and what it offers.

Let the world die to me.

Because I want Jesus and what He gives.
