For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45
Jesus came to this earth with one assignment, which was to serve the very creation of His father by laying down His life… Knowing that Jesus was and is the Savior allows us to place Him in high esteem or regard; however, we must know the submissive nature that He displayed to reach and obtain such a noble calling… We have to examine the life He lived which was indeed a life full of service and not one which was built upon people serving Him… Through today’s devotion, we are challenged to remember the humility with which we are called to live and know that our duty as Christians is to assist others instead of seeking our own goals and having others assist us in reaching them… This is not to be confused to say that you cannot have goals; however, what the passage says to us today is that we must be about the work of Christ which is extending hands of love and gratitude toward our fellowman if we want to reach and obtain these aforementioned goals… One of the biggest struggles in the church today is living a life of service… We can all shout, we can all quote a scripture, but the true definition of a Christian is found in their ability to minister... Mark reminds us today that Jesus, in all His glory, came unto this earth to minister unto all who would accept His offering which was poured out on the cross… We are reminded of this today because the call we have on this earth is not about “me, myself, and I” but to minister unto those we come in contact with… To be a true Christian is to serve throughout your life. Give to the needy, pray for your enemies, and be a beacon of light in this dark world.
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
