For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. The paradox of the kingdom's economy: the life saved through self-preservation is lost; the life lost in following Jesus is found. The saving and the losing and the finding all refer to the same life at different moments: the life clung to is the life surrendered; the life given for Jesus' sake is the life that is ultimately received.
