God's Riches At Christ's Expense. As a pastor, I've had to explain this many times. One example was just as simple: when Jesus shoved me out of the way from a speeding bus and took the hit that I had coming. Later when I visited Him in the hospital...I spit in His face. Of course I didn't do that. How ridiculous! I thanked Him for saving me and promised to follow Him (repent of my selfish life) and imitate His example of going after those in the bus headlights too, despite their actions or attitudes of indifference or antagonism. I got what I didn't deserve to do the same as He did for me for others.
