Impacting Your World

DAY 3 OF 7

SERVANTS OF ALL

In Jesus’ thinking, it is humility that enables us to live the kind of significant life that will make the world a better place. Jesus teaches His disciples that, if we seek true greatness in His kingdom, then we must find that greatness – not by being first, but by being last. Not by seeking to be masters – but by being servants of all.

Jesus encourages us to be ambitious – but ambitious for opportunities that will enable us to serve others – and this makes good common sense. Jesus has gifted us with another perspective, another way of looking at life and people. Each person is valuable to God and we should understand that others are always worth serving, whether we like them or not, whether they are important or not, and whether we like it or not. Jesus spoke of the importance of a child, and seemed to be saying, If anyone welcomes the poor, ordinary people, the people who have no influence and no wealth and no power, the people who need things done for them, he is welcoming me. He is welcoming God. 

Who would we need to serve at this time? Who might we need to put ourselves out for – perhaps even make big sacrifices for – that we might in so doing welcome Jesus, welcome God into our lives, into our community, into our midst?
