The same person who sent me this email commented on the picture in the atttachment. This picture was taken out of an illustratred sermon I did at a ministry where 3 young people came to the Lord and one came confessing his sin of pornography and wanting deliverance. This person has the whole video and if you want a copy I can certainly send you one. Anyway this persons comment to my mother was “What does he think he is Jesus?” This comment was made in a tone of offense.
The illustrated sermon was all about forgiveness. “I am crucified with Christ, yet I live, not I in the flesh, but now I live by the faith of the Son of God who gave His life for me.”
Do we do these good acts and feel it is sacrifice to discomfort our lives only for a moment, such as missing a flight or are we willing to discomfort our entire lives for the sake of others. Jesus taught many times to give up your life to gain it. Jesus taught your life is not your own. I know we need to start somewhere, but if we stop at just the sacrifice of discomfort, we will never learn the obedience of giving our lives to Jesus.
Forgiviness
