Maundy Thursday: Identifying with Christ’s Obedient Sacrifice

ThemeJesus’ sacrifice invites us to lay down our own lives in service to God and others. As we identify with His ultimate sacrifice, we are called to live sacrificially.ScripturesLuke 22:42 –"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."Romans 12:1 –"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."Luke 9:23 –"Then he said to them all: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."Philippians 3:8 –"What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ."
