We assume that the way to have the best life is to love your life. But Jesus said this common intuition is incorrect. It is counterintuitive both intellectually and emotionally that dying would be the path to fruition in life. The truth is that the cross and its impact upon our lives is the very last thing that we would expect, and yet it is the path to newness of life.

John 12:20-26
