02.27.21 MSG FROM JESUS FOR THE CHURCH:

You call yourselves apostles but are you willing to lose your lives for the gospel? For my name sake you will be hated. You are to lose your life, deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow me.

Matthew 16:25-28

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
