Who Will You Serve

"The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28)

Saturday is Serve Day at Church of the Highlands and countless other churches around the globe. One group recently served a single mom whose family lost everything in a house fire. On Saturday, another group will pick up trash and weed tennis courts at Harpersville City Park. And yet another is taking cookies to firemen and washing their fire engine.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus taught His disciples that whoever wants to become great must be a servant, for the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give His life for the many. 

In the Gospel of John, Jesus took off His robe, wrapped a towel around His waist, poured water into a basin, and began to wash His disciples' filthy feet. He said, "I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you." In other words, serve others.

Beloved, who will you serve today?
