Soul Not for Sale
|
Thursday, October 14, 2021 |
As the passenger from the Houston plane stepped off the jetway, I couldn’t help but notice the bold white letters on his black tee-shirt: Soul Not for Sale. But really, who sells their soul? That’s only the stuff of movies and legends, right? Some lady sells her soul to the devil to guarantee she becomes a millionaire. Some guy sells his soul so he can get the beautiful girl to fall in love with him. That’s them. But not us, right? “Of course not,” many of us would say, “because I’m a follower of Jesus.” But sell our souls we do—every day. And the price is surprisingly cheap. Consider:
And all the while, we proclaim, "Soul not for sale.” Does Jesus own your soul? All of it? Or do you and I just carve Him a thin slice every Sunday? Jesus asked, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world—but lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36) Soul not for sale. Anyone can wear the shirt. But not many can wear it honestly. Lord, help us! |
