“Now, my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!”
John 12:27-28
This is what Jesus said after he predicted His death.
Jesus lived a purpose driven life.
He knew the call of God, and He did not waver. His mindset was to fulfill His call and Glorify God-even to His death. Because of this, the Kingdom of Heaven was transformed.
The apostle Paul is pretty well known for the persecutions he suffered. He was flogged, imprisoned, shipwrecked- all in a good days work. But, he never wavered from His purpose. He knew that God was calling him to spread the Gospel, and because of his perseverance, the Kingdom of Heaven was advanced.
Now I know that most of us may not have callings anywhere near those of Jesus and Paul.
But what difficult situations are you facing today? What sacrifices is God asking you to make? Have you focused on how to bring God glory through them?
Let us be a purpose driven people- ready to sacrifice to bring God glory!
