Living Sacrifice

February 22, 2025 • Jasmin Stankovic • Romans 12:1

Romans 12:1 states, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." This verse emphasizes the concept of offering ourselves as living sacrifices to God as an act of worship. It signifies a deep commitment to live in a way that is pleasing to God, reflecting His holiness and love in our daily lives. The idea of a living sacrifice contrasts with the traditional understanding of sacrifice in biblical times, where animals were offered on altars. Instead, we are called to dedicate our entire lives—our thoughts, actions, and decisions—as an ongoing act of worship. This aligns with the belief that true worship is not confined to rituals or ceremonies but is expressed through our daily lives and choices. In essence, presenting ourselves as living sacrifices means surrendering our will to God and allowing Him to work through us, transforming us into representatives of His character in the world. This is a powerful expression of faith and devotion, inviting us to engage actively in our relationship with God.

LAVISHED WITHOUT MEASURE

February 15, 2025 • Pr Robert Stankovic • John 13:1–17, Matthew 26:26–30, 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

Matthew 26:26-30 describes the institution of the Lord's Supper, a significant event in the Christian faith. In this passage, Jesus takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it to His disciples, saying, "Take, eat; this is My body." He then takes a cup, gives thanks, and tells them to drink from it, stating, "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." This moment is crucial as it establishes the practice of communion, symbolizing Jesus' sacrifice and the new covenant between God and humanity. The act of sharing bread and wine represents the body and blood of Christ, reminding believers of His sacrifice and their redemption. The passage concludes with Jesus singing a hymn with His disciples before they go out to the Mount of Olives, emphasising the communal aspect of this sacrament and the importance of worship in remembrance of Him.
