Jesus doesn't ask us to serve any differently than he served. He's been there, he has been here…on Earth, among grumpy, demanding people, feeling tired and worn thin. Paul explains in Philippians 2:5-11 that Jesus was the ultimate servant. Reading those passages may make you feel like Jesus is a tough act to follow. But Jesus made it clear in Matthew 20:25-27 that it is you attitude that matters most! When you see life through Jesus' eyes, it's natural to spot opportunities to serve. Too often we miss them because we focus on ourselves. We can't see beyond the wall of our own problems and concerns. Only when we look beyond ourselves can we be the servants that Jesus desires us to be. Jesus tells his disciples that the leader among them would be a servant. By setting your heart on serving, you can follow in Jesus' footsteps. Who is more important, the leader or the servant? The first shall be last and the last first! Be like Jesus, love others like Jesus. Be a servant to others so they can know what is like to know Jesus' love!
In Christ,
Rick
