In 2 Corinthians 8:9, it talks about Jesus giving up His riches so we could be spiritually rich. It reminds me of the sacrifices parents make when sending their child to college'a significant investment in their future.
Sending a child to college isn't cheap, but parents do it because they believe in their child's potential. It's a sacrifice that mirrors Jesus' decision to give up everything so we could experience His love and eternal life.
I've experienced spiritual emptiness, but through Jesus' sacrifice, I've found immense richness in spirit and the promise of eternity with Him. It's a powerful reminder that sacrifices can lead to profound blessings, both now and forever.
