A not for me, but for you.
Sacrifice is always an interesting thought.
What we give up for the benefit of others.
Life is full of these moments.
Do we give up studying for going out and having fun?
I remember being in college and my friend Jason and I had a
hard exam that we were doing some final studying for.
After a while and our brains being mushed, we called it,
realize we weren’t looking that good and started to play video games.
If we would have been studying more, we might have done
better on that test, but instead we got a triple double with Kabba in NCAA 2k8
on PlayStation.
Looking back, wasn’t the best decision.
What do we sacrifice for?
Is it worth sacrificing for?
In John 18:14, they talk about a different type of
sacrificing…
“Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would
be good if one man died for the people.”
This man was Jesus.
How often do we think of sacrifices outside of ourselves?
We make sacrifices and usually it’s self-centered.
We will sacrifice for what we like to do, but what about for
others?
Caiaphas brought up sacrificing.
This is what Jesus did for us, gave up his life so we can
have eternal life, when we just have faith in him.
Seems like a bad deal for Jesus.
This would be the worst trade in Fantasy Football history…..
You get…..
Eternal Life.
You give up….
Your sins and have to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and
Savior.
Jesus gets….
Death on the cross
Jesus gives up….
His life for all the sins of every person.
Jesus wants to see faith in him.
He gives up so much more than we are willing to give him.
What’s worth sacrificing for?
Sometimes we make small sacrifices or have a goal it will
benefit us later.
Sacrifice is a part of life, are you happy with the
sacrifices you make and what you get in return?
Have a great day.
