David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 20th July 2024
The disciple John called Jesus, “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29) Every Jew knew exactly how a lamb could atone for sin: by sacrifice (Isaiah 53:7). So calling Jesus the “Lamb of God” was another way of acknowledging His mission of sacrifice.
Disciples of Jesus are called—by Jesus Himself—to live lives of sacrifice: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13). But sacrifice doesn’t always involve laying down one’s life. It can easily involve laying down a part of one’s life—time, resources, possessions. Barnabas, a leader in the Early Church, did that when he sold some of his land and gave the money to meet the needs of fellow believers in Jerusalem. He didn’t have to sacrifice his property (assets) for others but did so willingly, following the example of Christ.
Look for ways today to be a “living sacrifice” for the sake of another (Romans 12:1).
Read-Thru-the-Bible: Isaiah 20 – 28
