Lent is a season of sacrifice. Our own sacrifice (often some food we give up for Lent) is a reflection of Christ’s sacrifice.
Hebrews 13:15 (ESV)
Let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God.
A sacrifice of praise? How is praise a sacrifice?
-
-
- It takes time we could spend differently
- More than a quick thank you, it’s continuous gratitude
- We put aside our pride, exalting God and humbling ourselves
-
If it doesn’t come at some personal cost, it’s not a sacrifice.
