Having gone outside the camp to Jesus, rejected by the world's system and its religion, we join Him, bearing His reproach. And having taken our stance with Him, we do not complain or become victims, rather, through Him, we continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, the fruit of our lips that give thanks to His name. These are the new covenant sacrifices- continual sacrifice of praise to God and doing good and sharing. This is part one of a two-part devotional.
