It is our seventh and final week of our “Jesus Is” series, and we conclude today with a passage that brings us full circle. Back to the cross. Back to the resurrection. Back to the identity of Jesus, the one who gave himself for us that we might be redeemed. “Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.” Jesus draws us into himself when we renounce the ways of the world and seek the face of Christ. In so doing, he uncovers our lost humanity and shows us God’s design for who we were meant to be—both in this life and the life to come.
