Love and sacrifice. Those are the two words that come to mind after reading these scriptures. And doesn’t love, true love, come through some sort of sacrifice? Don’t we sacrifice for those we love? If we don’t, then should we? Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice and his sacrifice came because of his love for us. His love for us was far greater than any type of suffering that he would have to endure. Think about that last statement, his love was greater than any suffering when it came to making a way for us to be with him. So if I am to follow Christ, if I am suppose to use his life as an example to live by, then what am I sacrificing? I sacrifice for my children, for my husband, and for others, some I know and even some I don’t know, so how much more should I be sacrificing for Jesus? If we are to love God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength, than should we be sacrificing with all our heart, and soul, and mind, and strength? I can confidently, but regrettably say that I know without a doubt that I am not sacrificing enough for Jesus Christ. He died for me, what am I doing for him? Am I loving him enough? Am I loving him more than my own life?
I leave you with these questions, because I myself am pondering these questions and where I am on my walk with Christ.
