The God Journey

Self-Serving Sacrifice (#915)


Listen Later

What is the difference between sacrificing our lives for the kingdom and self-denial? It's easy to confuse the two and try to exploit our sacrifice to gain benefit from God. But isn't that self-serving in the name of sacrifice? When Jesus told his disciples that they must deny themselves and take up their cross, he was talking about the cost and risk of following him, not a means to manipulate him. Wayne and Kyle discuss the distinction after reflecting on what it will be like to behold God for the first time face-to-face.
