Luke 9:24-27
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost 26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”
What is more important to gain than finding life unending in God's Son? How can we count our life and goals more important than the one who gives life to us? So we who are His can never be ashamed of that good news, never keeping quiet over what God said, and waiting in forgiven hope for Him to come back. Some disciples saw Jesus after this on the mountain, and they saw him rise from death. There was no shame after He gave them life and began living in them (as He now does with all who are reborn now).
