What would I need to offer you to convince you to give up everything in your life? A big enough pile of cash? A life of ease? Fame? Is there anything that could possibly cause you to give up everything you have built in this life? To answer these, you would need to evaluate what is most important to you, what gives your life meaning and purpose, and what you’re willing to leave behind. The New Testament is filled with examples of Jesus asking us to examine our deepest loyalties, to consider our pursuits, and to seek the kingdom above all these.
