Self-sacrifice in love is worthy of honour

Morning: Psalm 119:97-120;Leviticus 26:27-42; Matthew 22:41-46
Evening: Psalm 68:1-20; 2 Kings 2:1-15; Revelation 5:1-14

This is the Eve of the Ascension, when the Church remembers Jesus’s return to back from where he came. The details are shrouded in mystery; no-one can explain it. What the Church has said down the ages, though, is that the sacrifice of Jesus ‘makes holy’ all for whom he was willing to die. Because of that, Jesus is worthy of honour. Honour is due also to all who are willing to sacrifice their own priorities and comforts for what is good and true, for whatever serves love. We honour Jesus’s sacrifice best by our own acts of self-sacrificial love.
