Serving

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

At times I like to watch the clips of downtown abbey. It is the story of an aristocratic family in England. They had many servants. The divide between the two classes was ever present. Never would you see them change places.

However, the God of Glory did just that. He came as a lowly man child, born in a stable. He grew up in a carpenters home and obeyed His earthly parents. At the right time He entered His ministry. Never once did He Lord it over His disciples. He came to serve. He served well, even to desth on a cross.

He called us, His disciples to pick up our cross and follow Him.  We serve Him and others.

What others has He given you to serve? He has given me Nepalis. I am in Nepal to serve them just as Jesus would. My constant goal is to discover how to do this best.

I am not on this earth to serve my fleshly appetities but to serve my Lord and His people. Amen!
