Sunday Scripture

Jesus said to the woman, "Because you believed, you are saved from

your sins.  Go in peace."

Luke 7:50

Sacrifices

Do we really know what it is to truly sacrifice ourselves in honor of the Lord?


There are some Christians in other parts of the world who make true sacrifices every day, I don't think that we in the USA have any idea of what those sacrifices really are.   An example is Asia/China.  Christians are not accepted, and can be persecuted for their beliefs.


Yet, people still go and try to share the Gospel with them, because that's what we are suppose to do.  I don't think I ever really realized what these people give up, have you?  Think about it, they leave their families, friends, go somewhere completely foreign to them to spread the good news.
That is a sacrifice.                                                                          


Missionaries are definitely special people, I don't think that is something that I am cut out for, but I thank God there are people who will do it.  It's not for everyone I'm sure, but what they are doing is exactly what Jesus told us to do.  


We are all called to take up our cross and follow him.  


Are you ready to sacrifice for Jesus?
