JONATHAN
Hello, I’m Jonathan Crabtree, Pastor of Student Ministries at Central – a United Methodist Community in downtown Meridian. When I say “sacrifice,” what comes to mind? An ancient worship practice? A song? What? Well a sacrifice is saying “no” to one thing and saying “yes” to another. It’s an action. It’s denying something in order to receive something greater. We make sacrifices every day. We say “no” to one thing in order to say “yes” to another. We listen to this radio station instead of another one. We don’t eat at one place in order to eat at another place.
Sounds a lot like making a decision, doesn’t it? Well that’s because sacrificing something is our choice. We choose to say “no” and “yes” every day. God does the same thing for us. God loved us so much, He did something, and God loves us so much He is doing something right now. God made a sacrifice; Himself, in order for something greater...US! We were worth making a sacrifice, so may we say “no” to the things that hold us back from knowing God’s love for us.
