Though Christ called himself โ€œthe way,โ€ in another sense heโ€™s our end, our destination. Donโ€™t settle down somewhere on the way so that you never come to the end. Whatever else you come to on lifeโ€™s journey, pass on by it, until you come to the end, Christ himself. Some seek money. Donโ€™t let it be your end. Pass on by, like a traveler in a foreign land. For if you love money, youโ€™ll be entangled by greed. And greed will be like chains on your feet. You wonโ€™t be able to make any more progress along the way. . .You seek honors. Perhaps you seek them in order to accomplish something that pleases God. If so, donโ€™t love the honor itself. Otherwise, you might stop there. Do you seek praise? If you seek Godโ€™s praise, then you do well โ€“ but not if you seek your own praise. Youโ€™re stopping short along the way. See, brothers and sisters, how many things we pass on lifeโ€™s journey that arenโ€™t the end. These we may make use of along the road, taking a break โ€“ but then we must travel on.
