Life and the world is so much bigger than we are. Why are human beings so egocentric? Life is always about "me", how will this benefit "me"? Jesus did not act like that, Jesus was selfless because he knew God's purpose was so much greater than himself. The fate of the world literally rested on whether or not he did what his father called him to do. Jesus did what God told him to and because he did we enjoy a relationship with him today. If we think as Christians it is all about "me" we are completely missing the point. Jesus was without sin and he was not always doing things for himself, he showed compassion and loved others and so should we. It isn't about us....it is about Christ and making his name famous.
O yea and on a side note if you think for one second Jesus had no choice in whether or not he wanted to die for us he did. Jesus did not die because he had to, he did not get beaten and tortured because he had to and wanted to. Jesus did that out of pure love. Because honestly, did Jesus really have a reason to die for us? (besides he loved us) The only thing we ever did was ruin God's perfect world by bringing sin into it. So the only thing we ever did was mess up, but God loved enough to let his son die for us, and Jesus loved so much that he actually died for us. That is riddiculous grace as Bryan Land would put it. That makes me love Jesus more and more.
