Responding to Christ’s sacrificial love

“The Greek text of Hebrews 12:2 can be translated in two ways: “Christ renounced joy to bring His sacrifice (Philippians 2: 1-8) or “Christ was willing to die because of the joy that awaited Him.”

Let us look at the first. The Son of God renounced His glory to come to the people who had turned away from Him. He shared their fate to prove His love. He sacrificed His life to save them. How do we express our love for God? Are we willing to renounce ourselves to come to Him and be saved (Matthew 16:24)?” (Chief Apostle Schneider, March 15, 2023)
