SACRIFICE

Consecration is resolution that is not afraid of sacrifice. -- Anonymous

 

When the days drew near for Him to be taken up, [Jesus] set His face to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51).  (Cf. Isaiah 50:7)

 

[Jesus said] "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised" (Luke 9:21-22).

 

Father, the hour is come; glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You, since you have given Him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom You have given Him" (John 17:1-2). 

 

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said..."It is finished," and He bowed His head and gave up His spirit (John 19:28, 30).
