Serving you? God’s Word calls on Christians to look for opportunities to serve others and to avoid seeking to be served. It holds Christ up as the ultimate and divine example.
Think about it. The world talks about our “right” to do this or that. “We have a right to choose-- the right to get more, no matter what.” The sad truth is that when we are consumed by “our rights” and “our prosperity,” it is very hard to focus on the needs of others.
God’s Word tells us: “Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:1-10).
If Jesus Christ had come to this world to be served, our salvation would have been an empty promise indeed. God asks us to be “like Christ” and to lead lives of service and commitment to others. As Christians we need to be willing to heed that call and pay the price of hardship or even worse if necessary. Are you willing? May God grant!
“I pray today in Jesus name that each of us commit to serving not ourselves but the lives of others around us. As Christ came to serve and not be served, our focus in living should be no different. We serve. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
