Jesus says that in losing our life we are saving it. There is a lower self that must be trampled down and trampled to death by the higher self. The alabaster vase must be broken, so that the ointment may flow out to fill the house. The grapes must be crushed so that there is wine to drink. The wheat must be bruised before it can become bread to feed the hungry.---------------------                                 Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
