To appreciate life, one will have to look at it from the perspective of death.

1. Are you Dying to
Live, or Living to Die
{
A reflection on death and life}

2. Remember
Rethink
Re-align

3. Many will
REMEMBER our
departed but many
will forget to
REFLECT and RE-ALLIGN
their lives

4. Dying to live (Mt. 4:1-11)

5. 1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2
After fasting forty days and forty nights,
he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him
and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell
these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall
not live on bread alone, but on every word
that comes from the mouth of God.’”

6. Then the devil took him to the holy city
and had him stand on the highest point of
the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he
said, “throw yourself down. For it is
written: “‘He will command his angels
concerning you, and they will lift you up in
their hands, so that you will not strike your
foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written:
‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

7. 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high
mountain and showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you
will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me,
Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord
your God, and serve him only.’ 11 Then
the devil left him, and angels came and
attended him.

8. Times have not
changed
“Turn these stones into
bread”
Worldly Concerns

changed
“If you the son of God”
EGO

10. Times have not
changed
“showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and
their splendor”
Lust of the eyes

11. Men continues to PURSUE the
very things Jesus REJECTED

12. People are still dying to
live… for this world
Greater ATTACHMENT
More PLEASURE
Less HEAVENLYWARD

13. The prodigal son was
dying to live, but it
only led to a life of
death

14. Live to Die

15. The way to
CHRIST is
DEATH

16. Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I
live; yet not I, but Christ lives
in me: and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by
the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave
himself for me.

17. The way to REAL
BLESSING is
DEATH

18. John 12:24, “Truly, I say to
you, Except a corn of
wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abides alone:
but if it die, it brings much
fruit."

19. The way to LIFE
is DEATH

20. Luke 9:23, 24, "And he said to
them all, If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily, and
follow me. For whosoever will
save his life shall lose it: but
whosoever will lose his life for
my sake, the same shall save it."

21. Not just something
we BELIEVE but
something we
actually DO

22. Reflect and Re-align
What is the real purpose of my
life?
How am I living my life now?
How can I really die so that
Christ can authentically live in
me?
