HE COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING HE WANTED TO BE.
DOCTOR,
LAWYER,
GOVERNOR,
ENTREPRENEUR.
BUT HE LOVED US ENOUGH
TO PUT ASIDE THOSE NATURAL ASPIRATIONS
TO OFFER HIS LIFE
AS A LIVING SACRIFICE.
HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE
TO BRING US BACK TO GOD.
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
PERHAPS SOMEONE MIGHT DARE TO DIE
IF IT SAVES THE LIFE OF A GOOD MAN,
BUT CHRIST DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE
TOWARD US
THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS
CHRIST DIED FOR US.
NO, THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE
THAN THE LOVE IT TAKES
TO GIVE OF YOURSELF
AND SACRIFICE
FOR THE SAKE OF SOMEONE
YOU REALLY DON’T KNOW,
PERHAPS HAVE NEVER EVEN MET,
OR TO GIVE TO SOMEONE
WHO YOU KNOW HAS BEEN DOING WRONG.
BUT WE ARE TO LOVE
AS CHRIST LOVED US
AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR US
AS AN OFFERING
AND SACRIFICE
TO GOD.
