New King James Version For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? The answer is clearly no. The world that we live in is full of distractions and pleasures that pull us away from a spiritual life.
Even our jobs which are a very necessary and important part of our lives can end up being the altar at which we pray. They consume most of our waking hours and provide the income on which we are dependent in order to take care of our families.
We spend more time at cinemas, theaters, art galleries and theme parks than we do at churches, and they have become our new cathedrals. We can spend hours at any of these places of entertainment but if church service goes on too long we get impatient.
We love to listen to music and to dance the night away much more often than singing hymns to our Lord. We pay more to watch a football, basketball or baseball game than we leave in the tray as it is passed through the pews. We care more about money, honors, fame, glory, recognition, entertainment, physical gratification and a myriad of other things than we do about enlightenment, spirituality and peace in our lives. Yet even when we are satiated with the good things in life we often find ourselves feeling empty.
Something seems to be missing. Many people turn to yoga, gurus, "feel-good" seminars legitimately looking for ways to fill the empty void it their lives. Others turn to alcohol, drugs, or prostitutes in their search for ways to either deaden the pain or find a source of intimacy that is missing.
Yet none of the above will provide the sense of peace for which we are all searching. Only a connection to God can provide that ultimate peace.
His resurrection is what we will celebrate tonight when we light our candles. And through His resurrection we have been given the hope of salvation. It is important for those of us who are Christian to remember that our physical lives don't last forever.
Our souls will last an eternity, and thus we should place even more emphasis on the health of our souls than the health of our bodies. The later is important to nourish but our souls also need nourishment, and that nourishment is love. Of course not!
