I received a text message this morning from a friend and it said, in texting shorthand - Thot 4 2day. Ur salvation is dependent on someone else's sacrifice. ur sanctification is dependent on ur sacrifice." Very simple, but right on time. I texted him back and added, "and our joy is also dependent upon our sacrifice." As a matter of fact, it seems that everything good in life comes out of someone's sacrifice. So why do I find myself running away from sacrifice instead of running towards it, that is the question for the day?
Hebrews 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Jesus walked right into the sacrifice and suffering of the cross, and he did it 'for the joy set before him'. He did it for joy because he knew that sacrifice mysteriously brings joy!
