Serving

John 12:26

“26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”

When I was a boy, I always wanted to be where my father was.  When  he was working in the yard and I was there watching him work, he would look at me and say,  “If you are going to be out here you can help me work.”

Whoever is a disciple of Christ is expected to serve.   Wherever a Christian serves, Christ is present.  In order for Christ to be present in the world we must serve Christ everywhere we go.  Christ is served when we imitate Him in words and actions that are grounded in our love.

When we serve, the world sees Christ.  

May the love of Christ be with you
