The Christian life lived well will always leave scars. We're called to love like Jesus in full totality, without counting the cost. The greek word "agape", which is translated into "love" in English means to desire the greatest good of the other. That requires each of us to die to ourselves for the sake of the other. "Jesus told his disciples, 'If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'" -Matthew 16:24. To follow him is to go all the way to Calvary itself, the very place Jesus received his most glorious scars of all on his hands and feet.
