Christian Beliefs On Sacrifice

202 Words1 Page

Sacrifice does not have to be monstrous, it is the random acts of kindness that add up. Jesus sees that. God has shown his love through His son, Jesus Christ in His time of trial. Jesus was selfless and sacrificed his body, flesh, and blood to tell us, “It is okay now, you have eternal life. Go in peace and spread the Word”.

    Pain, both physical and mental, affects every character in The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. However, the biggest loss, which is that of the Price family’s youngest child, Ruth May’s, life also brings about some positive effects as well. Here, similarly to in Twelfth Night, a person is sacrificed for the greater good. Naturally, it may be more difficult to imagine the benefit of Ruth May’s sacrifice than to imagine the benefits of Viola’s, but if given adequate thought, it becomes clear that the death of Ruth May helps the other women in the Price family to realize Nathan Price’s destructive ways. Kingsolver first exposes Leah Price’s newfound argumentative and bold personality, and her opposition towards her father in the following exchange, “”She wasn’t baptized yet,” he said.
