Jesus Lived an Unselfish Life for Our Salvation ㅡ

 “Christ pleased not Himself.” (Romans 15:3).

He did nothing for Himself; His work was in behalf of fallen man.

Selfishness stood abashed in His presence.

He assumed our nature that He might suffer in our stead.

Selfishness, the sin of the world, has become the prevailing sin of the church.

In sacrificing Himself for the good of men, Christ strikes at the root of all selfishness.

He withheld nothing, not even His own honor and heavenly glory.

He expects corresponding self-denial and sacrifice on the part of those whom He came to bless and save.

Everyone is required to work to the extent of his ability.

Every worldly consideration should be laid aside for the glory of God.

The only desire for worldly advantages should be that we may the better advance the cause of God.

Christ’s interests and those of His followers should be one.
