There is an emotional toll for sacrifice. Imagine if you had a first born son, which I
do, and if he were your beloved, which he is, and that you found great delight
in him, which I do, and that he was worthy, which he is. Now imagine sacrificing him for others and
those others rejecting him. I can
unequivocally say that there would be an emotional toll that would have a
physical response, I would tear something up, something would bear the brunt of
my feelings. I once had a studio mate in
graduate school that had contracted cancer as a teenager. He said when he got the news he went out into
the woods and chopped down a tree as a release for his hurt and anger.
It’s a wonder the cosmos survived God’s sacrifice!
