"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).
*TODAY'S TEXT*
MARK 8:34-38
🖊 *MESSAGE*
Singapore's richest dollar billionaire, Philip Ng Chee Tat, has just discovered a truth which all the dollars in the world cannot buy. In his own words, "My wealth cannot replace Jesus. I've discovered He is the missing piece of my broken body. I have discovered all of us are broken, we all have a missing piece. For me, I havediscovered the missing piece was God in Jesus Christ."
According to the blog site, Believers Portal Philip said that all the riches in this world are vanity if Jesus is taken out of the equation. Of course, this is a truth that is incontrovertible and beyond price even if all the billionaires on earth cast all their wealth in one bid box.
Jesus himself puts forward a poignant question that captures the sentiments expressed by the Singaporean billionaire. He asked: "Is anything worth more than your soul?"(Mark 8:37) This question was and remains the Lord's way ofremonstrating with people of His time and of all times who place money over their lives and actually live for the pursuit of money and other material things. If a man of money, a billionaire like Philip Tat, has discovered that his billions isnothing without Christ, what else needs to be said except that the more miserable ones among us still think that money is what confers worth on them and are unwisely devoting their all to the pursuit of cash. When they finally make it, if they ever do, they will discover Philip Tat was right after all. It is the greatest foolery to invest all your life pursuing a goal that after all turns to a mirage.
