the EASTER/HOLY WEEK devotionals
part 4

RansomMARK 10:45For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister,and to give His life as a ransom for many!Jesus came not to be served but to serve others -He came to minister to others and not to receive anything in return - Jesus came as a servant of the most High God - God in the flesh - the God of all creation serving man - what a strange way to save the world - a song by 4HIM has said -Jesus also came to die for the lost -for the sinners - He came to lay His very life down -He showed us the example - HE is the example -He lived the perfect Life without sin!He was tempted just like us - but never once gave in! We should pattern our life after Jesus -We need to trust HIM to live in us to produce the fruit of righteousness - that on our own is only filthy rags - Many times in the church today we seek a church that will help us -Without thinking about what we can do for others -We are all a part of the body of Christ - and all of us if we would only look - have a place in which to work - to work at saving souls with JESUS!Without Christ - no one can be saved -It took His life and death to bring us salvation!Never forget those wonderful words of President JFK - "Ask not what your county can do for you - but ask what YOU can do for your country!"The same concept needs to be in the church of today - we need to be seeking a place in which to plug into - to be of use to others - to show JESUS to the lost and to live the life!Lets remember we are all in the same boat -JESUS brought us salvation - lets bring it to others! Lets live our faith in action!---------------------------------------------------------------Through Christ we can serve with grace!____________________________________________
