Daily Gospel: sacrifice is the diamond at the top
Sacrifice is an act of offering to a deity something precious. If you sacrifice something that is valuable or important, you give it up, usually to obtain something else for yourself or for other people.
If the discipline form a small mound of germs, then sacrifice is the diamond at the top. No other discipline is more closely associated with the character and the mission of Jesus Christ than sacrifice. Yes, He was intimate with the father, lived simply, sought solitude, surrended His will to the Father daily, and lived a prayerful, humble life characterized by self-control. But it is sacrifice that distinuishes the Son of God from all mere historical figures and identifies Him as Savior, even to those who scarecely know of Him.
Eph 5:2(HCSB)
And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.
Eph 5:2(ESV2011)
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Eph 5:2(KJV)
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Eph 5:2(NET)
and live in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.
Eph 5:2(NIV)
and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
