Mark 8:36-37 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?… I. WHAT IS A MAN PROFITED IF HE SHOULD GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD? Power over extensive empires. Power over great riches. Treasures of knowledge and pleasures. What will it profit him when he comes to die? In the day of judgment? when he gets to hell? II. THE LOSING THE SOUL. Its intrinsic value. Its capabilities. Where the soul must go to that is lost. III. THE PRACTICAL LESSON. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?WEB: For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? |
