Serving the Many

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life — a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:28 HCSB

Jesus had just had the mother of James and John as a special favour. She wanted her son's to sit on either side of Jesus in His kingdom. The remaining disciples were indignant with James and John. However Jesus took this as an opportunity to teach the disciples a lesson. Jesus was saying : position and ridership is an earthly thing; servanthood a heavenly thing.

In another place Jesus said He came to: seek and save that which is lost. Yesterday I saw several people come to Christ at church. It is always a good day when people get saved. Salvation would be my highest thrill and purpose.

I have been challenged lately, in many ways about the gospel of wealth and blessing. We can be so intent on me being blessed we can miss to have eyes to see. We need to see the lost before we can save them. May our eyes be open to see. Amen!
