The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Luke 9:23-26, “And He was saying to them all, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me,

he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24 “For whoever

wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one

who will save it. 25 “For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses

or forfeits himself? 26 “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man

will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and

of the holy angels.’”

Here Jesus speaks about “profit and loss,” something it seems is uppermost in

the minds of many these days. Jesus says that profit is loss and loss is profit.

Does that make sense? It does if you identify what you consider to be “profit”

and what you consider to be “loss.” What is profit to you? What is loss?

We love and cherish you all,
