The Word:
The Last First, The First, last
MARK 10:31
But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
Today's verse reminds us all that Jesus said to be greatest you must be the servant of all - serving is not natural to our human nature -the way our human nature is set up -its all about what's in it for us - many are willing to serve so long as they know they are getting something out of it - when Christ saves us - we should be so full of joy at what He did for us -we should be willing to serve - but sadly many times we choose not serve the Lord -we can find many reasons why we don't - but in the end all of us will have to answer for our actions - thankfully in CHRIST all is forgiven - We need to remember that these lives don't really belong to us - Jesus paid a great price for us and He also made us - Its all about Him - I have heard it said that this world is backwards from what Heaven is like - the rich here seem to be getting richer - and there seems to be more poor among us - the current culture of this world shows just how selfish humanity can be - everywhere you look you can see people looking out for #1 - lets change that always look to JESUS CHRIST - HE should be first in our lives -not ourselves - there is room on the throne for only one God - amen!
Lets remember to be first - you have to be last - give not expecting anything in return - live totally for JESUS and HIM alone!
Jesus is our example of what it means to serve - follow HIS example!
amen!
The Final Word:
We could never repay God - We could never out give God -
All we have to offer Him is our lives....
CHRIST shows us what it means to serve!

If you want to be like Christ- become a servant!
