What is by far the greatest achievement? It is educating humanity, elevating the human spirit to everlasting hope and happiness; it is leading the soul from the kingdom of earth to the Kingdom of Heaven. Can such a glorious purpose be achieved without sacrifice? (1:21) Human beings are best inspired by models who show their devotion and sincerity through examples. The first ones to offer perfect examples of devotion, nobility, and self-sacrifice are God's chosen Messengers. If they, with all their perfections and powers, submitted themselves to the law of sacrifice, are we not inspired to do the same? (1:22) I have set you an example: you are to do as I have done for you. Christ (John 13:15) (1:23) I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. Christ (John 10:11)
(1:24)
