For Jesus, you have two choices: Option A: you deny Jesus and follow your self. Put another way, you put desire on the throne of your life. You make getting what you want the ultimate authority and driving motivation for your life. Or option B: you deny your self and follow Jesus. Meaning, you crucify the desires of your flesh and tap into your deeper desires for God himself. The results? Losing your life. Or saving it. According to Jesus, those are your options.
