Living Hope

I know a man who:

Was rich but became poor so that the poor people he served might become rich. Was powerful but chose to become a servant so that those who didn’t even deserve to be his servants might become his sons. Was healthy but spent his entire life working with the sick that the sick might become healthy. Was worthy of honor but put himself in a position where he was continually shamed so that those who were worthy of shame might be put in a position where they would be honored. Was entirely against sin but humbled himself so that the sinners he served might themselves be one day without sin. Was wise but spent his life among the ignorant that they might become wise. Was someone of whom it could honestly be said, he had everything but made himself nothing that those who are nothing might come to have everything. Was without need yet willing to sacrifice his very life for those who only had need that they might spend their entire eternity needing nothing but Him.

I know this man, I love this man, but the question is am I willing to follow this man wherever he leads me?
