“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” - Ephesians 5:1-2
Jesus devoted His life to serving God and selflessly helping others. He ministered to the sick. He encouraged the disheartened. He lifted the downtrodden. He spoke life and hope and truth to all who would hear. He loved everyone regardless of their history. When we love others in a sacrificial way, giving time, service, and care to strengthen someone else, we follow in the way of Christ. This kind of love, demonstrated in practical ways, changes lives. It changes us. There is no better way to live!
