Partakers Bible Thought 13 August 2021 – Christian Called To Service

Partakers Bible Thought 13 August 2021

42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

(Mark 10 :42-45)

Serving God and other people is the mark of a spiritually mature Christian. Why? Because through service to all others, the Christian reflects the greatest servant of all, Jesus Christ. It was He, who came in order to serve and give his life for others (Mark 10:45). As Christians we are to be as Jesus Christ (Romans 8:28; Philippians 2:5) and to serve. Yet if we are honest, we sometimes feel incapable, just as Moses did (Exodus 3). An excellent example to follow thought, is that of Stephen (Acts 6:8).

WOW! The Christian life is to be dynamic and active, participatory and not just observational. When a Christian serves, God’s honour is released, and shows Jesus Christ’s beauty and glory, to those being served and to those watching.
