Parenting as Sacrifice
How far are you willing to go for the sake of your children?
Parenting can be difficult and demanding. Caring for someone else and taking care of their needs requires a cost. But how far are we willing to go as parents? What's the limit of the sacrifice we're willing to make for the little ones in our lives?
In this episode, we discuss the concept of parenting as sacrifice and what it looks like to parent for the sake of future generations.
There's a story of a mother who pays the price of her own life in bearing a child. A heavy cost in parenting indeed. Was it worth it? There were other children born to the family by that point anyway, was it a necessary cost to pay? Should they even have considered having another
child? And yet, God told them to have more children. In fact, He commanded it. Without this mother's
sacrifice, you likely wouldn't be reading this right now. It's a story that you probably know, at least a little bit about. The story is the birth of Benjamin, the youngest of the sons of Israel. And there's a certain Benjamite that would later turn the world upside down in bringing the gospel all over the Roman empire as the "Apostle to the Gentiles." That's right, the greatest missionary ever to live, the
Apostle Paul! We all have a reason to be thankful for the sacrifice that Israel and Rachel were willing to make so many generations before.
