Watch the video above, or read key excerpts below.
We are to follow Jesus’ example not only in service and in suffering, but in sacrifice.
Highlights:
- “There are times, more times than we would like to admit that Christians, even Christian leaders, behave in ways that are remarkably selfish and even remarkably clueless…. We are to endeavor by God’s grace that we are never the ones who are so selfish and are so clueless.”
- “When Jesus takes our cup, he is taking our need. He’s going to take our sin. He’s going to drink the cup of our guilt. He’s going to drink the cup of God’s wrath that we deserve.”
- “We are to have a radically different understanding of service. We are to have a radically different understanding of suffering.”
- “There are times when God will call upon us to serve him and the level of service will be such that it is painful…. We are to follow Jesus’ example not only in service and in suffering, but in sacrifice.”
