Living Soul
#7
As always I would think that Jesus?s reference to ?for my sake? must be taken in that historical conext. Giving up ones life or soul in 30 AD in Judea, for Jesus sake had certain implications which had relevance to them.
The old world/age was passing away, soon (within a generation) the temple would be destroyed and that way of life, with all its weaknesses and shadows would go.
Jesus was calling them to abandon that religion or way of worship and to worship in ?spirit and in truth?.
The divisions of mankind from one another were to be put aside. men were to be called to worship together now.

One might say Jesus was calling on them to ?get real?. In ?getting real? we abandon our worthless empty hopes (which inwardly we know are hollow) that being a member of this or that group or religion will save us.
And so, in losing this false life, life beomes real, and we find our life, as we live authentically and truly.
