The great sacrifice
The people of the earth always seeks a messiah. Many leaders give their lives for the liberation of the people. Many sacrifices their life to break bondages, such as racism, caste, political and economical bondages. But their sacrifices are for temporary relief. The Sacrifice of Lord Jesus Christ is to give eternal relief. Many poured their blood in this world. But it gives only physical liberation. The sacrifice of Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest because he is not a man. He was a man.But not only a man. So that his sacrifice is the great Sacrifice. Philippians 2:5 to 11 says: Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, Who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearence as a man. He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, to the glory of God the Father. The sacrifices of the earthly leaders are forgotten even they are alive. But the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ is remembered after 2000 years because he is not a man. He is God and his blood is pure. Halleluja.
