The Blessing of Sacrifice
Day 3: The Blessing of Sacrifice
Reading: Mark 8:34-38
Devotional: In a world that often equates blessing with gain, Jesus presents a paradox: true life is found in sacrifice. As you read today's passage, reflect on what it means to "deny yourself" and "take up your cross." What might you need to sacrifice to follow Jesus more fully? Remember, the sacrifices we make for Christ aren't losses, but investments in eternal treasure. Ask God to show you areas where He's inviting you to let go, so you can more tightly grasp His promises and purposes.
