Life of Sacrifice

If you have ever had the opportunity to attend a Sheepdog Seminar or one of ours recently, something that Lt. Col. Dave Grossman says during the Sheepdog seminar and restates it at the end is “Sometimes the greatest love is not to sacrifice your life, but to live a life of sacrifice!”  What a powerful statement!  How often can we say that we are truly living a life of sacrifice.  Most of us are selfishly focused on our self.  Our needs, wants, and desires. 
​
Some of the greatest men in the Bible and throughout history understood what living a life of sacrifice really means.  I absolutely love talking with people that truly understand what living a life of sacrifice really means.  These people are humble, not arrogant and are looking for ways to better serve and sacrifice for those around them.  One of the greatest warriors in history was Jesus Christ.  As I am going through the Gospels again and reading it in a different version, I am gaining greater clarity to the character of Christ.  If you think or have thought of Jesus as a mild-mannered man that allowed people to take advantage of him all the way to the cross, then you really don’t know who he truly is.  Someone that is a not just a believer, but a follower of Christ gets this, and it is evident in their lives when you meet them.

​These are the people that you want serving in your ministry.  These are the people that are going to advance the Kingdom of God because they have a heart of sacrifice and service.  They aren’t serving in a ministry for a title or for their own ego.  They understand the role that they have been given in the service of the great Shepherd.  This is evident in their personal life as well.  How they are around their wife, kids, co-workers and others that come into their life.  I have been that person in the past that could really care less about engaging with people.  I lived life out of selfishness instead of sacrifice.  Jesus had to really work on my life and change my heart over the nearly last 6 years.
