~ A Person Of God Is Sacrificial ~
Series Note
~ There are many qualities which
God desires in His children. In this
series we will briefly cover a few of the major ones.
Scripture ~ Jesus
said, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and
that your joy may be full. This is My
commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to
lay down one's life for his friends.
You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a
servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends,
for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and
appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should
remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one
another” (John 15:11-17).
Comment
~ Love almost always requires a
degree of sacrifice. The supreme example
of love is the sacrificial death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on the
Cross of Calvary.
