Loyalty to Christ (Mark 8:34).
Jesus challenges all believers to authentic discipleship and total commitment to Himself through self-renunciation and acceptance of the cross of suffering, even to the sacrifice of life itself.
"Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it ... will save it".
This is an expression of the ambivalence of life and its contrasting destiny.
Life seen as mere self-centered earthly existance and lived in denial of Christ end in destruction, but when lived in loyality to Christ, despite earthly death, it arrives at fullness of life.
