Finding Contentment - The Value of Contentment

Matthew 16:24-27. There are many human accomplishments that amaze us. Many have proven valuable to us throughout history. While these are impressive and important, they all fall short of the value of faith in Jesus. Jesus is asking what is your soul worth? If you were able to gain it all in this life, would that be worth your soul? No, it wouldn’t. Jesus is saying to us that the things of this world aren’t a better investment than heaven. Nothing this world has to offer is worth your soul. Fortunes can be made and lost, but you only have one soul. You’ve got to choose where you find contentment. Do you get contentment in the things of this world or in Christ?
