Though man is mortal, he can attempt to outlive his frail body by attaching himself to a cause that transcends himself. And to an extent, it is true: we remember the acts of great men throughout the ages, their hands stretching across the expanse of time to affect our lives long after their bodies have decayed. We take their names on our lips, remembering their actions and their heroism. Through us, they have achieved a kind of life beyond the grave.
But every cause man devises, no matter how noble, will eventually fail.
To live forever, he must attach himself to a cause that transcends himself- an immortal, indestructible cause that will outlive every kingdom and plot of man. Only the cause of Christ has such power to survive.
Men give their lives for many causes, both noble and otherwise, but the man who gives himself up for the cause of Christ will find the very thing he gave returned to him with eternal interest.
Every other cause takes your life. This one gives it back.
