Great Service

The Good News Today Is...we are meant to be servants. Not slaves. Not to live in bondage. We are meant to serve out of a heart of love for our family and community. Mothers do this almost automatically for their families. Jesus wants us to do this for everyone we meet. "Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all." (Mark 10:43-44) This lesson is so hard for most of us. We equate power and glory with being the leader - being the most important - the first. Jesus equates power and glory with being a servant. A heart of servitude and humbleness will go further in the kingdom of God than any plans we have here on earth to be great in the eyes of man.
