You know what kind of life it is that Christ calls you, as his disciple, to live. His own example and teaching in the Gospels (to look no further in the book of God than that) make it abundantly clear. You are called to go through this world as a pilgrim, a mere temporary resident, traveling light, and willing, as Christ directs, to do what the rich young ruler refused to do: give up material wealth and the security it provides and live in a way that involves you in poverty and loss of possessions. Having your treasure in heaven, you are not to budget for treasure on earth, nor for a high standard of living — as you may well be required to forego both.
–J. I. Packer
On this Saturday when Jesus’ body was in the tomb almost 2000 years ago, the disciples did not fully understand what it meant to lose everything for the sake of the gospel. But we already know what happened on that Easter Sunday morning. And because we know that Jesus gave up everything for us, we can be happily willing to give up everything for Him – traveling light so that we can go wherever He leads at a moment’s notice. Holding loosely to the things of the world while holding tightly to Jesus.
