sacrifice

i'm blown away sometimes when i try to understand the love that Christ has for us. we celebrate on Christmas the birth of Jesus, although we know that with birth, comes death. i was thinking today about the words sacrifice and surrender. these two words are neither easy or comforting when i think of my own life. but when i think of Christ's life, sacrifice and surrender are some of the things that give me hope. without Jesus' sacrifice, there would be nothing for us to hold tight too. nothing lasting for us to put our faith in. we can't make it without Jesus. His surrendering and sacrifice for our sake is something that i will never comprehend fully, but i am grateful for it. it gives me a different perspective when i think about my own life and the sacrifices and surrendering that i am called to make. mine don't seem that difficult anymore when i think about what Christ has done.
