They have this unyielding honor and dedication. And when I meditate on this, I ask myself, do I have the same type of dedication? And then I am really thankful for the great gift that has been given to me. We have been chosen to a higher calling which is unequaled by anything on this earth. We are called to something special, something unique that requires a special duty and service to God. Because He deserves it, because He has sacrificed so much for us, we should be willing to sacrifice for Him as well. In Matthew 7:14, it says.
This was a very difficult path that they walked. And yes, today, our path can be very difficult in this world. But if we stay true to God, we will have a great reward. See, to become a tomb guard, there are tremendous requirements on their part to become a part of this elite group. And they understand that it is going to take a total sacrifice, and they understand that sacrifice is not an option but the requirement. And so, do we realize that our sacrifice is not an option but a requirement to be holy as God is holy? It takes total dedication.
