Who Do You Serve?

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,

but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. - Mark 10:45

No matter how talented or successful we become, we all need a strong dose of servanthood. As you pursue your God-given destiny, be careful. Don't be so focused on what you love to do that you neglect what needs to be done. At 3 a.m. nappy change isn't exciting, nor is home cleaning. Visiting someone who is sick may not come naturally to you. Yet the sick need to be cared for, garages need sweeping, and nappies need changing.

Max Lucado writes: "The world needs servants. People like Jesus who did not come to be served, but to serve:

• He chose remote Nazareth over centre-stage Jerusalem .
• His dad's carpentry shop over a marble-columned palace.
• And three decades of anonymity over a life of popularity.
• He selected prayer over sleep and flawed apostles over obedient angels. We would have chosen the angels. Not Jesus. He picked people.

When they feared the storm, He stilled it. When they had no money for taxes, He supplied it. He let a woman caught in adultery interrupt His sermon, a woman with a disease interrupt His schedule, and one with remorse interrupt His meal. Though none of the apostles washed His feet, He washed theirs. Though none of the soldiers at the cross begged for mercy, He extended it. And though His followers skedaddled like scared rabbits on Wednesday, He came searching for them on Easter Sunday. The resurrected King ascended to Heaven only after He'd spent 40 days with His friends - teaching them, encouraging them… serving them."

Peter writes: "Put on the apron of humility, to serve one another" (1 Peter 5:5). So, who do you serve?

Let all that you do be done in Love (1 Cor15:14)

Let us pray like Mary did: “I am the servant of the Lord, let it be done to me according to your Word.” (Lk 1:38)

PRAISE GOD
BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
