What is the message in the following reading, (st matthew 16: 25)?

Matthew 16: 25:  "For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it."

Jesus Christ calls us to care about spiritual life, to attach more significance to a moral way of life that will be rewarded by the Lord in heaven, than to ordinary life full of concerns about material issues. And when following the principles and teachings of our Lord we are critized, assaulted or pursued, we should be happy and confident in our reward after death.

which time period is this? or is this story fictional, i'm going to need more info to answer this question

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.
