A Living Bread Ideas series
The Things You Cannot Take With You
The Things You Cannot Take With You. This is one thread of Living Bread Ideas: a set of essays that take a piece of ordinary modern life, ask who told us it had to be this way, and set it beside Jesus Christ. Not to call the world evil, but to ask what has been quietly behaving like a lord.
“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
Matthew 16:26You Cannot Take Your Title With YouYour rank is part of who you are.You Cannot Take Your Reputation With YouWhat people think of you is your real estate in eternity.You Cannot Take Your Savings With YouA large enough balance outlasts you.

The One all of this points to
Every essay in this series circles the same center. Your life belongs to God, and in Him it is finally free. His name is Jesus, the Bread of Life.
Come and seeJesus Christ is Lord.
