What matters most in your life? If someone were to watch us, listen to us, and examine our lives enough, they would be able to tell us what was most important. Because what matters most is what flows out of our lives.
Blaise Pascal said life is a wager. We are all betting our lives on something. We live life leaning forward, bent on arriving at the place we long for, betting with our lives that what we are heading towards is right. Pascal’s famous wager asks the question, “What if what we are betting our lives on is the wrong thing?” That’s a pretty big wager.
Is there a right answer to lean into with our lives? Is there something that should matter most in our lives? What if we get to the end and realize what we went after was the wrong thing?
In Matthew 22, Jesus gives us the answer to what matters most in all of life. Above all else, this is what we should lean into.
