The Story - Chapter 25 - Jesus, the Son of God

"...and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all." (Mark 10:44)

Do these words make sense to you?  Is it understandable that to move up in life, to get ahead, one must serve?  For me, these words fall right in line with, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Serving each other and caring for each other are the same thing.  When we care it is natural to serve.  When we invite people to our house for a fun celebration, we probably would not invite people we did not like.  When folks we care about are in our presence, at our house, the natural instinct would be to begin serving them.

Remember Martha, she loved Jesus with all her heart and she only wanted to serve him. She wanted everything perfect for His visit.  That is one way I see love and care working hand-in-hand.  Is it time you showed your love by serving?

One way to do this, to show love for Jesus, is by serving His people; by caring for those who need help. Service takes many forms; love, money, generosity....  Look around; there are many ways to show love, many ways to serve those whom Jesus loves.
