A Courageous Church Devotional
Last week's devotional was about Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. In the second part of that devotional comes a devotional asking you to reflect on yourself. If you claim Jesus as the Lord of your life... then are you living a life worthy of Christ's sacrifice?
Are you living a Thankful Life in Light of the Thankful Sacrifice?
Are you living a Life worthy of the Cross of Christ?
This is a difficult question because it searches so deep within our own spirit. It becomes even more difficult as we realize that we are not worthy of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. And glaring us daily in the face is the fact that as hard as we try to obey God's word, we often fail, we often fall short. But that's okay, that is the message of the Cross itself!
Read Romans 5:6-8
- Jesus knew that we were not worth His painful death... But He counted us as worthy.
- Jesus knew that we were not righteous, that we are still in sin against Him... But He counted us as worthy.
Paul is asking us if we will do the same thing for other that Christ did for us. Will we count people worthy of our sacrifice even though they aren't. Yes, you may be asked to sacrifice your life for someone, but Jesus said that He came to give us life and life to the fullest (John 10:10).
What are some ways that you can count others as worthy?
- Worthy of your attention?
- Worthy of your time?
- Worthy of your money?
- Worthy of your ......?
You are living a Thankful Life in light of the Thankful Sacrifice.
