Path to Life

1 John 5:5
Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

The “world“…meaning the value system of materialism, power, prestige and being first…leads to a dead end. Following such a system will never satisfy the insatiable desires of the ego to build its own kingdom. Jesus has a different philosophy…one of love and service…using your gifts and talents to build God’s kingdom. Following the “world’s” philosophy leads to an endless grab for more…as well as anxiety and stress over holding onto what you’ve grabbed. Following Jesus leads to freely sharing your treasures…not being “attached” to them. It also leads to inner peace and contentment. Which path do you choose?
