Read Mark 10:35-45

“…for the Human One didn’t come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life to liberate many people.” -Mark 10:45

Apparently even those who have spent a lot of time with Jesus sometimes forget what it means to follow him. Maybe there is still hope for the rest of us, after all!

James and John were two of the twelve. A couple of Jesus’ closest companions. One day, though, they began to worry about their future. They had just heard Jesus say something about dying and their immediate response was to be concerned not about him but about themselves. Jesus seizes the opportunity for a teachable moment. True greatness, he tells them, is not found in power or position. Instead, it is found through serving.

Part of our discipleship pathway is serving one another. The gospel truth is that when we serve others, as much as we may be a blessing to them, we also find ourselves truly blessed. Serving connects us with the heart of Christ.

What is one way you can generously serve others?

What dream do you have for how our church can generously serve others?
