The Death Process.
So a couple days ago I bought Mattie Montgomery’s 2nd preaching album, The Keys To Open Ancient Gates. In one of the tracks he talks about the death and resurrection of christ. And he said something that really struck me. He said
“Damon Thompson teaches that Jesus didn’t die on the cross so we wouldn’t have to. He died on the cross to show us how.”
And i’m not saying that this is the reason that he died for us. i’m not saying that what he said is true or not. because its just a way of thinking.
But i’ve just thought about that a lot. I mean think about it. He showed us how to die on the cross. How to sacrifice our lives for the benefit of others. How to live a life of full-hearted love to our Father, God. Man I want passion like that. I mean i’m ready to sacrifice any sort of chance i have of having a family in the future, ready to sacrifice financial stability, sacrifice my close friendships if it means i can bring people closer to God. People who don’t know him or have been scarred by the corrupt ways of a friend, family member, a church, or any sort of organization. And I don’t say this to stand on a pedestal. I say this because It’s really shown me how the things i’m ready to sacrifice are NOTHING compared to what the King of Glory sacrificed for us.
