We want Jesus for what he can do for us. We act like he owes us something, thinking mostly of what Jesus can add to our life to make us great. We tend to miss his purpose, because we are so consumed with our own. The gospel illuminates that the way of Jesus is sacrifice. To lay your life down as a servant for the sake of others experiencing life and salvation. Jesus took our place as the perfect substitute so that we could be saved. Jesus doesn’t respond to our entitled demands for position but to our humble cries for mercy. Receiving this mercy empowers us to sacrifice our purpose for his purposes in our life.
