First Sunday of Lent

Sell your soul!

For What would you sell your soul ?

Most people would say that they would not sell their soul for anything. 

But is that true?

Would you sell your soul for a cure for cancer?

Would you sell your soul to end poverty?

Would you sell your soul to end all wars?

This is what the devil offered Jesus;

“Just sell me your soul, Jesus

And I will end world hunger;

I will make you King so that you can end all wars;

I will make you Lord of all so that you would not have to serve anyone but yourself.”

Jesus however knew that selling His soul for these things was not worth it. 

Because everything in this world is passing away and the soul is Eternal. 

The devil often does not ask us to sell our souls. 

He usually just wants pieces of it. 

So he offers us pleasure and power and money and other things. 

And slowly piece by piece he gains our souls. 

And so slowly we die, little by little so that we do not even notice it. 

Do not give in to the temptation as appealing as it may sound. 

It is fools gold,

And not worth our soul!
