Text to read: 2 Samuel 23:13-17 NLT

Main Points:

  • Following Jesus often calls for personal sacrifice.

    • Hebrews 11:33-40 NLT

  • From your human perspective, sacrifice is the enemy.

  • Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross stripped death of its power and opened the way for you to find an eternal purpose.

  • In the grand scheme of God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will, eternal gain infinitely offsets earthly pain.

    • Revelation 21:1-4 NLT

  • Action Step:

    • Put eternal reward above earthly comforts: ask the Holy Spirit if there is something you need to sacrifice that is holding you back from Christ’s eternal purpose for you.
