Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬

If you loved someone and they were in trouble, what would you do to save them?

We see stories everyday of heroes. Men and women who give their lives to save others. We even idolize them and for good reason. We say they have given their lives in ultimate sacrifice.

These men and women go to work everyday not knowing if they will return.

They chose what they do to help the very people who may at any moment turn on them in violence.

They risk their lives because of love for others only to have their love met with hate.

They risk their lives knowing that if they perish their sacrifice will leave a hole in the lives of those they leave behind.

While I admire and pray for these brave men and women, and appreciate what they do for us, there is one who gave far more than they could ever give.

Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice. Not only did he die for us, he gave up a Kings mansion. Imagine, living as the son of God. Imagine being God himself. Imagine moving out of His mansion, and giving up all of his power to live with a bunch of people that he knew would reject him. But he loved them anyway, and he loves us still.
