For My sake

To preach a crooked mile, you'll have walked a crooked road, to walk a narrow road, you'll have preached a modest mile.

 Victory and Humility are the fated twin stars that hold aloft a fragile and perfect balance of that which is "Life indeed". The victory of Jesus Christ to settle a blood feud, fought with the very word of God is that which no eye could truly see and no man truly comprehend until it all had been accomplished. The voice which spoke Love into existence became the absence of Love for us. 

 The pride and arrogance which sneered, "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life", was all at once swallowed up when the Grace of God was finally revealed. To be sure, all that a man has he will give for his life, but Salvation appears only by a proper understanding of life and all we truly have. The delicacy in Love absent the strings of pretension is Victory, the hands and feet that carry it are Humility. 

 In substituting His blood for ours Jesus Christ became "Life" to all. The tables were turned, our blinders removed so that we might understand; "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it." (Luke 9:24) ...Life indeed!
