“What’s in it for me?” It’s easy to look at life through the lens of that question, to make decisions based on perceived personal benefit. Perhaps at times we look at Christianity through that lens, wondering what we will gain for following Christ. Today we see that question answered. The answer is EVERYTHING! Because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, followers of Christ have the peace of his forgiveness. Followers of Christ look forward to an eternity of glory in Christ’s heavenly kingdom. Followers of Christ have the joy of meaningful purpose. Followers of Christ are called to sacrifice for the well-being of others. In Spirit-wrought gratitude, followers of Christ make selfless sacrifices with joy.”
