NOOMA Tomato

The latest offering in the NOOMA DVD series explores one of the hard sayings of Jesus, “Whoever finds their life will lose it and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” (Mt. 10:39) Rob observes that there is a part of us that has to be right, needs to look good, wants to be admired, and wants to win. We spend a lot of mental energy trying to maintain this image of ourselves. He argues that it is precisely this false self that Jesus calls on to die. Most of us refuse to die to these false selves, but Jesus calls us to die to them so we can truly live.

Watch a preview below.
