—Matthew 20:20-28
by: Paul Andries.
Like James and John, we are too quick to answer the question, "Are you able?," without giving careful thought to the question.
Jesus said that his servants ought to treat others in a way that was different from the way the worldly leaders treated their subjects (v. 26a). True servants come early and stay late. They do the most work. At times, they do the most painful stuff. When a servant knows his purpose is to serve, he does not expect to be waited on but does what he was hired to do.
Tell yourself, I am going to church this morning to serve in Jesus name! AMEN
