Set Apart

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that You present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”
~Romans 12:1

“Six hours, one Friday. God is on the cross. The Creator of the universe is being executed. Spit and blood are caked to his cheeks, and his lips are cracked and swollen. Thorns rip his scalp. His lungs scream with pain. His legs knot with cramps. Taut nerves threaten to snap as pain twangs her morbid melody. Yet, death is not ready. And there is no one to save Him for He is sacrificing Himself.” (Six Hours, One Friday, Max Lucado)

Jesus offered His whole life for you. He chose to be the sacrifice so you can have life…everlasting life! A living sacrifice is one who lives their daily life in a constant state of surrender to God’s will. Be a living sacrifice for Him who gave His everything for you!
