He has called us, not so that we love our own lives, not even the lives of
our fellow human beings. In other words, we are called to live, not for
people, but for the honor of God and his kingdom. We must not endeavor to
raise ourselves to God's kingdom by loving our life and taking good care
of
it. The way to the kingdom leads through death, through very real death.
It
demands that our life be given up for the sake of God and his kingdom.
(Mark 8:35)
