Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. John 25:25
This is one quote by Jesus which is deemed to be a hard saying. Who has ever heard it alluded to in a sermon at a Christian church?
In my fantasy free approach to understanding scriptures, I explain it as perhaps the most profound and meaningful verse in the New Testament. There is no controversy in it at all. The fact is, that it is so meaningful that folks can’t accept the meaning and explain it away in some other convenient manner.
