TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant; and whoever wants to first among you must be a slave to all. For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others and to give my life as a ransom for others.” Mark 10:43-45
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Jesus was a prime example of a leader who served others. There is no doubt that Jesus, as the Son of God, was a leader and not a follower. He attracted many during his journey on this earth. Wherever he went many followed. He was not one who displayed fear into others and never one to condemn others as the leaders of the world did. Instead, he led with a servant’s attitude. He led with love, compassion, a silent strength and with a desire to be a servant to those around him. He is our example. He is the way a leader should testify to the world. We are to follow our leader as we journey our path in life. We are to show a way that is not self-serving but one that is full of compassion for others and has the willingness to serve and not to be served. When we follow Jesus’ lead, we begin to prepare the stage for his message. People will begin to ask questions, and we will be prepared to answer those questions. People around us will feel welcomed into our life and we will be able to set forth the salvation message. Jesus gave his all. His compassion for others went deeper than you and I can even imagine. He put his life on the cross for each of us. All that we must do is accept, believe, and have the faith to live our belief. The time is now for us to act. That message must be shown to others. It is time for each of us to be strong in the Lord and begin to show our love and compassion by becoming a soothing existence to others and not an overbearing trying to strong arm those around us into salvation. God has given us all a free will. We are to spread his message, but those who hear it must make their own decisions. Jesus lived the life he proposed to others, just as you and I are to live the life we spread to others. JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
