Who doesn't like to be served? That is why we go to hotels, resteraunts or even the drive through at McDonalds. It is nice to be served. I think we as Americans have become nearly obsessed with being pampered and served. So much so that we have forgotten how to serve others. We hear about the "me generation," right? Well, some of us folks that are getting a little older than we would like to admit, are really seeing it and beginning to sound like our parents! Back when I started working here...........! You know what I'm saying?
Well, it's time that we begin serving others with love. You can serve until you turn blue, but if there is no love in it, is there really service (kinda like McDonalds - service with a snarl.)
Today I was in Mark 9-11. The verse that really spoke to me was 10:45 "For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Jesus came to serve. Similar to someone in the military. They serve and in some cases are called to give their life. Jesus served with the PURPOSE of giving his life. He knew what was going to happen to Him. He still served even knowing about what would happen to Him.
Kinda gives the word "serve" a bit of a new meaning.
