HOW can we do this?
It may be as simple as asking our family, our friends, our employees, our coworkers, our neighbors… Ask 1 QUESTION: What can I do to help?
The other thing that you can do — Look for opportunities to do for one what you wish you could do for everyone.
Now, at the end of this little conversation with Jesus and his apostles, Mark quotes Jesus — listen to how this conversation ends. Basically Mark takes all of our excuses away.
Mark 10:45 (NIV)
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.”
*we remember where they were heading: Jerusalem. Where Jesus will do, what he's calling them to do... That's why we even remember EASTER.
Live to leverage your life FOR others.
*you can also care for yourself in healthy ways: Me moments of recharge is vastly different than an “it’s all about me” lifestyle that our culture promotes and pushes.
