// U2 and Jesus Christ

Note: This is not a post saying U2 is better then Jesus Christ or anything like that. I know, and all of you should know that nothing compares to King of Kings. This post is not meant to offend anyone.


I have acquired U2 tickets which I am extremely happy about. Nevertheless, there is a price to pay. I sacrifice one hundred and thirty five hundred dollars ($135). Indeed a large sum of money at any way you look at it Imagine all the things you could do with that much money? You could buy clothing, food, and go out and do fun things! I sacrifice that money though, for I believe that U2 can bring me much more joy then clothing, food, or movies can bring.

In a way, isn't our relationship with Christ like this? As Phil Dooley once said we live a life that is a sacrifice. We give up many things we don't want to give up. Becoming a Christian means leaving stuff such as premarital sex. Now in today's world teens everywhere are having sex a lot. We as Christians give that up, because we believe that there is something better in store. The same thing goes with drugs, and hanging out at wild parties. We give up the good times we could possibly have because we believe that there is more to life than beer and parties. We believe that in the end, we will be rocking it up with the King of All.

So, in a way, are these two examples somewhat the same. There is sacrifice for things we enjoy, but we get something so much better at the end.

I get to see one of the most famous and entertaining bands in the world

I get to live with Jesus Christ, the most powerful person in the universe.

I love living the life that's a sacrifice.
