Even among non-Christians, the world is filled with people who have found something they love more than they love themselves, despite the fact that whatever has claimed their love is infinitely less desirable than our Lord and will not last. People who believe in a cause bigger than themselves find themselves willing to embrace all manner of hardship and suffering for that cause. Secular history is filled with countless millions of examples, but it seems many who claim allegiance to Christ are yet to find a God who is bigger than themselves. We need a radical change of mindset.

The eternal Son of God has always been worthy of endless praise but it is precisely because he was stripped naked and dehumanized and publicly humiliated in every way that he is adored and will be forever praised by millions of us. Jesus endured the cross that we might be like him. The thrilling news is that this means not only enduring suffering but ending up loved and adored and forever hailed as a hero. He blazed the trail for us to follow all the way to endless glory.
