For What Is A Man Profited?

For What Is A Man Profited?

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26)

We live in a world full of people who are obsessed with self and seeking their own profit. In the world a man’s so-called success is determined by, how much money they make, how nice a car they drive and how big a house they live in, and the influence they have in the world. Men and women by nature seek their own profit! I find this to be ironic considering that our Lord Himself had no place to lay His head, walked everywhere he went, (they did have horses, mules and wagon’s then) paid His taxes with money that God provided from a fish’s mouth, and by design made Himself of no reputation.

I think it would be wise for every man and woman to consider this critical and crucial question that our Lord asks. For what is a man profited by earthly power, material wealth and temporal riches? How sad it is, for we all know men and women who love, cherish and concern themselves with possessions, power and self interest more than they do their own souls. For what is a man profited when his concern is self-interest and gaining these un-useful things?

To go a step further our Lord elaborates even more by asking, what is a man profited IF HE GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND YET LOSE HIS OWN SOUL? What would a man, who had riches beyond comprehension, power beyond conception, earthly riches in abundance, so much that others would say, “he has gained the whole world!” What would he GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS OWN SOUL? I know this much, though it may never enter a person’s mind or heart while they are residing in this world unless God divinely intervene, one day when all these self-absorbed men and women stand before God Almighty, they will find out that they possessed EVERYTHING BUT the ONE GOOD AND NEEDFUL THING! Only then would they gladly exchange all their wealth, power, possessions and self-proclaimed significance, for the saving of their souls.

Dear reader you cannot serve two Masters, for either you will hate the one, and love the other; or you will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Matt. 6:24, Luke 16:13) May God grant us as He did Mary, to choose that good part which shall never be taken away, the ONE THING NEEDFUL for our soul’s redemption. Christ is that good part and One needful thing! Without Him, we are nothing and we have nothing. -- David Eddmenson
