Posted : 24 Feb, 2011 07:14 AM Here's another BAREFOOT GREAT REMINDER from my heart and spirit to yours that I was SO BAREFOOT BLESSED to read today with the Holy Spirit from Our Daily Bread Online!!! :hearts::hearts::hearts: Love, Steve What Really Matters February 24, 2011 � by Joe Stowell Read: Matthew 16:21-28 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? �Matthew 16:26 Several years ago a friend of mine visited an exhibit of relics from the infamous Titanic voyage. Exhibit visitors were given a replica ticket with the name of an actual passenger or crew member who, decades earlier, had embarked on the trip of a lifetime. After the tour group walked through the exhibit viewing pieces of silver dinnerware and other artifacts, the tour ended with an unforgettable twist. A large board listed the names of all the passengers, including their status�first class, second class, crew. As my friend looked for the name of the person whose ticket he was holding, he noticed a line across the board dividing the names. Above the line were the names of those who were �saved� and below the line all those who were �lost.� The parallel to our life on earth is profound. It really doesn�t make any difference how the world ranks your status. The only thing that ultimately matters is whether you are �saved� or �lost.� As Jesus said, �What profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?� (Matt. 16:26). Perhaps you�ve already trusted in Christ for your salvation. But what about your fellow passengers? Instead of sizing them up by the externals, talk to them about their ultimate destination. It�s not what I achieve that qualifies, It matters not if I gain wealth or fame; The only thing I must be certain of Is �Have I put my trust in Jesus� name?� �Hess In light of eternity, what one believes is far more important than what one achieves.
