In my last blog, I attempted to offer some thoughts about what Jesus meant with the paradox of losing our life if we love it and keeping our life if we hate it. I talked a bit about the concept of dying with Christ so that we might also live with Christ. But that brings us to the next logical question… if I die with Christ, if I no longer live but Christ lives in me, if I decrease so that Christ might increase, is Christ asking me to disappear? Is He saying that I must abandon all uniqueness, all desires, dreams and goals in life?
