Sweat Equity
Webster’s defines ‘sweat equity’ as: equity in a property resulting from labor invested in improvements that increase its value. In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus asked that the cup might be taken from him if it were God’s will. “And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” (Luke 22:44 NIV) Truly Jesus has sweat equity in those of us who call him Lord and Savior.

Gail;
-----You’ve incited in me a line of thought that’s never crossed my mind before. Jesus was saved by works, at least in as much as all His thoughts and deeds were without blemish. He needed no sin sacrifice. His relationship with His Father was in His obedience: works. So, indeed, all of this work invested by Him was not invested in cushy comforts for Himself, big house, big plantation. No. He built a bridge.
Love,
Steve Corey
