Sacrifice
I was just thinking the other day, how much of ourselves are we actually willing to sacrifice for others? We have different levels depending on the person, but what is our actual limit? Jesus sacrificed Himself for the least of these. For the worst of these. And by sacrifice I mean he let the very people He was trying to save, beat Him, strip Him, ridicule Him, Spit on Him, and finally nail Him naked on a tree between two criminals for all to see. Are we willing to do that for someone? Anyone? Everyone? Would any of us truly be willing to do something similar for another person? I realized that is a hard question. I am not sure how much I would be willing to go through. But Jesus calls us to be as He was. And that would include being willing to sacrifice ourselves for others. Now that will take different forms for each of us, but I think my original question still stands; How much of ourselves are we actually willing to sacrifice for others?
