Sacrifice
I had a dream of Jesus sitting at the table and a Cup sat in front of Him. I too was sitting at the same table catty-cornered across from Him. The only thing on the table was the Cup. In the dream, I keep looking at the cup. The Lord showed me the Cup in my dream is the Cup of Sacrifice. As children of God, we too are to drink of this Cup. Sacrifice is giving up our own fleshly desires and being a bondservant for HIM.
It is giving of ourselves for others, laying down our life for Him, and not withholding anything. It means to yield ourselves to His will, plan, and purpose for our lives.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. (Matthew 16:24)
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you. (Matthew 6:33)
Jesus said, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. (Luke 9:23) Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, (Romans 12:1) Do not go on presenting the parts of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those who are alive. (Romans 6:13)
Jesus is our Lord and He is our Saviour.
1 Corinthians 15:58 My beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
Philippians 2:14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing; 15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. 18 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
Whatєvєr you do, do aℓℓ to the gℓory oƒ God. 1 Cor. 10:31
Matthew 20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him. 21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left.” 22 But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to Him, “We are able.” 23 He said to them, “My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.” 24 And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26 “It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
