There is a question that echoes through history…
From Martin Luther King Jr.:
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
From the lips of Christ:
“Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
— Mark 12:31, Bible
And then—on a deeper level still—comes the invitation:
“Sell all that thou hast… and come, follow me.”
— Matthew 19:21
Good Friday: The Answer Given
Good Friday is not only a day to remember what Christ said…
It is the day we witness what He did.
He did not give a portion.
He did not give when it was convenient.
He did not give what cost Him little.
He gave everything.
The cross is not just a symbol of suffering—
It is the clearest answer ever given to the question:
“What are you doing for others?”
The Deeper Meaning of “Sell All You Have”
When Jesus said,
“Sell all that thou hast…”
He was not only speaking of possessions—
He was pointing to the attachments of the heart:
Pride
Fear
Control
Self-will
Good Friday shows us what it looks like to "Go All In!".
Christ held nothing back—
Not even His life.
Dear Reader,
Good Friday invites a quiet and personal question:
What am I still holding on to
that keeps me from loving fully?
Is it something I own…
Or something that owns me?
To follow Christ may not always mean losing everything outwardly—
But it will always mean surrendering something inwardly.
And yet, here is the paradox:
What we surrender…
Is small compared to what we receive.
Because on the other side of the cross
is not loss—
but life.
Final Thought:
The call of Christ is simple, but not easy:
Love others.
Give freely.
Follow fully.
Good Friday reminds us—
He has already walked that path.
And because He did…
We can too.
