I put myself through college as a server, otherwise know as a waitress. My job was to serve the people who came into the restaurant by being cordial, listening to and properly placing their order, preparing my part of the order, delivering the order and then making sure everything was fine. I actually enjoyed serving.
I knew why I was there, I knew my job and most of the time, I did it joyfully. Do we know why we are a disciple? Do we know what our job is?
Jesus knew why He was here – to serve. It wasn’t about becoming a King and being served. He was all about serving. It was His purpose – to seek and save the lost by serving.
Being a servant is a mindset, an attitude. It comes from the very core of who we are as disciples. If we’re following Jesus we can’t help but serve.
Jesus was a servant so he served, who are you?
Lord, give us a heart like yours, the heart of a servant.
