Read Philippians 3:8-9 – What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
Catching glimpses of huge mansions owned by notable people with great wealth causes most of us to drool and momentarily wonder about living their life. No one ever came across a missionary like Mark Buntain and wanted what possessions he had, because he had nothing you would want. I don’t remember anyone fighting over the riches of Mother Teresa after her death. She didn’t have anything to fight over! In the Kingdom of Christ, great is not measured by where we live, but how we live. Great is not measured by what we have to sell, but whether we are sold out to Christ!
