What would our lives be like if we always kept Jesus' sacrifice, Himself as the crucified one, before our eyes? If we stood in awe before Golgotha and contemplated the work of redemption? If our everyday lives were filled with humble wonder at what Christ accomplished? William MacDonald explores this question in his book "Take My Life."
First, he encourages the reader to reflect on Golgotha. In further short sections, he then looks at redemption, analyzes humanity without Christ, and presents the magnificent and infinitely valuable message of salvation.
But what traces, what consequences does Golgotha leave in our lives? Shouldn't our hearts burn with love for Christ? Shouldn't worldly desires and passions have vanished? Indeed, shouldn't we be ready to lay our lives as a living sacrifice on God's altar? Using real-life examples from Scripture and church history, this book raises these questions and calls for a genuine, deep, and vibrant devotion.
Above all, devotion born of love for Christ and gratitude for redemption forms the core of the book. Here, the author deeply touches upon the reader's personal life and invites reflection on the strength of their own love, devotion, conduct, and separation. Indeed, on the significance of Golgotha for them.
