The Crown of Sacrifice
Jesus is the ultimate example of self-denial
The Crown of Sacrifice
All who will follow Christ will endure trial
The Crown of Sacrifice
John the Baptist did not shrink from his calling
The Crown of Sacrifice
He served a Savior who kept him from falling
The Crown of Sacrifice
John could have chosen to give up in despair
The Crown of Sacrifice
Yet, he had faith in the Savior’s loving care
The Crown of Sacrifice
In facing Herodias, John did not cower
The Crown of Sacrifice
Jesus Christ had filled him with moral power
The Crown of Sacrifice
Jesus knew John would bear the test
The Crown of Sacrifice
John the Baptist now awaits Heaven’s blessed rest
The Crown of Sacrifice
