Sermon | ”Dying Well” | February 26

When people are near death, they often reflect on the life they've lived: have they lived "on purpose" or have they "done all they were supposed to do". Many struggle with regret and sadness at missed opportunities and/or relationships. Most people look back, reflect, and ask whether or not the years of their past have been full. Following Jesus is about LIFE - abundant life - both here on earth and eternally. Yet, the only way into ABUNDANT LIFE is through dying. In a vivid exchange with Peter, Jesus makes it abundantly clear that following will require a cross and a dying to self. If we want to live well, we must die to ourselves well.
