... whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 10:38-39
In this passage Jesus is trying to say that you must give up everything, even your life, to follow Jesus. You must give up everything in your life on earth, so that you may have eternal life in heaven. If you give up your social life, personal life, etc., and focus on Jesus Christ then you shall lose life here on earth. But by giving this up you will earn something so much more valuable, eternal life with Jesus in heaven. So give up all you have, take up your cross, and die with Jesus. Die with him on earth so you may be with him in heaven.
