‘…put on the apron of humility, to serve one another…’ (1 Peter 5:5 TEV).
Jesus entered the world to serve. And we should enter our jobs, our homes and our churches to serve. Servant-hood required no unique skill or seminary degree. Notice:
(1). To serve is to love the overlooked. Jesus sits in your classroom wearing thick glasses, outdated clothing and a sad face. You’ve seen Him. He works in your office. Pregnant again, she shows up late and tired. No one knows the father. Water cooler rumours say even she doesn’t. You’ve seen her. When you love the misfit and befriend the hurting, you love Jesus. ‘”…whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored…you did it Me”’ (Matthew 25:40 TM).
(2). To serve is to wave the white flag. We fight so much: ‘Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from?’ ask Jesus, ‘Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way…’ (James 4:1 TM). Real servants don’t struggle, they submit.
(3). To serve is to do something each day that you don’t want to do. Pick up someone’s trash. Surrender your parking place. Call that long-winded relative. It doesn’t have to be a big thing. Helen Keller once told the Tennessee Legislative that when she was young she longed to do great things and could not, so she decided to do small things in a great way. Don’t be too big to do something small. ‘…Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for Him is a waste of time or effort’ (1 Corinthians 15:58 TM).
So, who do you serve?
