For Even The Son Of Man

Came Not To Be Served But To Serve Others

And Give His Life As A Ransom For Many.

Scripture

Matthew 20

25 But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. 

26 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 

27 and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. 

28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Observation

One of the few things that I have enjoyed about this current coronavirus crisis, and there are a couple, but the one thing that has really moved me has been how people are looking for ways to help one another and encourage one another! It is so Awesome!

I hope that you have been a part of doing something good for someone.

If you haven't … well it is not too late to start.

Kathy was surprised today by a front porch visit from our Senior Pastor Bruce Moore, his wife Heather, and their 3 kids, Gwen, Noel, and Titus. They treated us to “ChurroNuts” doughnuts made by our very own Chefs' Brian, Misty, and Franklin Sommers. What a wonderful treat!

Have you noticed how many different ways people are helping people all across the United States!

Jesus said, “Even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and give His life as a ransom for many.”

Application

I will look for someone to encourage this week or maybe Kathy and I will look for several someones to encourage this week. We certainly have the time and really we don't have an excuse for not doing something good for someone else.

How about you? Who can you touch with the love of Jesus Christ?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for allowing us to be in a church where people reach out and help one another. Bless our church members, Lord. Put on their hearts this week people who need a touch from You. Put on my heart people that need my help.

I pray for our young married couples. Help them to stay strong in their relationship with You and with each other. Don't let them drift apart. Show them that they must fight for their marriage and not fight with each other. The enemy wants to destroy them.

Thank You for our leadership team that does so much to help us grow in Christ. Keep them strong. Protect them from the evil one.

Show us how to be Your hands and Your feet. Show us who needs our help!
