We must always remember — though Jesus healed our physical, temporal sicknesses; He was more concerned about our eternal souls.

We put so much effort in maintaining and pampering our lives which are meant to die to this world. We may have lives of wealth and comfort while on this side of heaven, but that very same comfort places our eternal souls in jeopardy. God’s Word tells us that our lives in this world are like vapor; here today, gone tomorrow. But our souls are eternal! Jesus owned nothing. He had no home. He had no personal property other than the clothes on His back. The only thing He had to give was His life. It is what He has called all of us to do. Some might call this “reckless abandonment.” I call it passion.
