I know there IS spiritual symbolism in caring for a family and nurturing one's children, but tend to forget most of the time.

It is not just a matter of sacrifice but making your will the same as Christ's. Obedience to God's will always involves sacrifice. The fact our sins are forgiven through sacrifice always implies that it is through Jesus Christ.

Also consider this verse from the Bible.<BR/><BR/><B>1 Samuel 15:22</B><BR/>But Samuel replied:<BR/>"Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD?<BR/><B>To obey is better than sacrifice,</B>and to heed is better than the fat of rams.<BR/><BR/>To obey God is better than sacrifice...<BR/><BR/>Consider Abraham in his willingness to obey God in the sacrificing of his son. <B>Genesis 22</B>M.A.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11883500451608060177noreply@blogger.com
