SACRIFICES
The ancients
sacrificed children
to appease
their gods
…in due time…
Our Lord
sacrificed His life
to please
His Father
and save
His brethren
…later still…
The moderns
sacrifice children
to appease
their gods
absolute freedom
hedonistic luxury
unexamined pride
self-deification
…ultimately…
we can
sacrifice across life
to please
our Father
and become
God’s children
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
(Romans 8:12-18)
