Great Sacrifice, Greater Reward

Jesus is about to demonstrate how far He will go express His love for mankind. He will sacrifice everything and show how to focus on eternal rewards. Those who were there that day, heard Jesus explain what the commitment would have to be, and heard His Father confirm the importance of the sacrifice. This would be one more example of what it means to follow Jesus. To die to self, to fulfill God’s purpose in this life, to then receive eternal reward in heaven.
