LOSE HEAD, GAIN CHRIST
MEMORY VERSE: “And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist” (MARK 6:25).
Richard Baxter declared, “If there be glory laid up for them that die in the Lord; much more shall they be glorified that die for the Lord.” Indeed, Jesus died on the Cross of Calvary to empower all who would victoriously live for Him in this world, triumphing over Satan and all his hosts.
Living for Jesus, in turn, requires dying to self, so much so that we are willing to choose Him, who is our eternal life, over and above our transient life on earth. John the Baptist made a decision to defend and glorify Christ; and lost his head in the process, but was celebrated in Heaven.
The world has always been hostile to the saints and is not getting kinder today. Unbelievers are even getting more hostile to the saints as we are closer to the end of the age.
However, do not fear, Jesus said, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).
QUOTE: The world has always been hostile to the saints.
CHALLENGE: Just seek Jesus, at the expense of all.
PRAYER: Grant me grace, LORD, to ignore the whole world and embrace Jesus
