We are constantly reminded that Jesus made one sacrifice to end all sacrifices. Well I dissagree with that statement. I believe Jesuse made a life of sacrifice. Think about it. He is the son of God all powerful who visited us in the flesh John 20:17.
He had at his access te ability to produce coins from the mouth of fish- he sacrificed wealth. He was able to heal the sick and raise the dead, he sacrificed fame. He was able to calm storms, he sacrificed power he could have used to distroy his enemy with nature. Women flocked around him yet he took no wife sacrificing his sexuality. Children flocked to him but he sacrificed his right to family. He was able to raise the dead having power over death he could have post poned the cross and enjoyed long life and any every luxery mortals had to offer then in old age face the brutality of the cross- yet in his youth (I can say that of him now that I am old) he faced his accuser and made that well known and often talked about sacrifice-for you and for me. What sacrifice do we make for him?
