The Greatest Adventure

The Jesus-centered life is the greatest adventure imaginable. Just think of it: Devoting your days on earth to bringing eternal life to those who so desperately need it – people you actually know!� Yet, as in any high-stakes adventure, there is risk involved. So we should truly count the cost before embarking upon this journey.

This came to mind especially when my four sons were younger and living at home. As I was getting ready to travel to a dangerous part of the world, I explained to them that I might not return from that particular trip. I felt it was my duty to prepare them for whatever might come. Of course, I didn�t want to die. I�m as cowardly as anyone else; I hope to live until I�m ninety-two! But the danger had to be faced. And in the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, it can be. The bottom line is: If our Master died for us, what an honor it would be to die for him – if He chose that for us.

But death is not the end for believers, no way.� It�s the beginning of eternity in heaven with Jesus! That�s why Paul said, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” So let�s count the cost and start living the high adventure life by spreading God�s love today – in this town, in your town!
