Way to Victory: Give Yourself Away

Following Jesus isn't a casual decision or symbolic gesture - it requires everything. When John the Baptist called Jesus the Lamb of God, he was declaring Jesus' purpose as the perfect sacrifice. Jesus' entire life led to the cross, and He made it clear that following Him means denying ourselves and taking up our cross daily. This isn't figurative language we can soften; it's a literal call to die to ourselves. William Borden exemplified this commitment, writing 'No reserves, no retreat, no regrets' as he gave up his inheritance and life to serve God. The paradox of Christianity is that we must die to ourselves to experience true life.
