Serve as Jesus Served

Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering . . . Colossians 3:12

If you want to know exactly how to serve as Jesus served, all you have to do is look at the passage of Scripture found in Philippians 2:6-8.

1. He made himself of no reputation

2. He took the form of a bondservant

3. He came in the likeness of man

4. He humbled himself

5. He became obedient to the point of death . . . . . .

6. even the death of the cross

Jesus understood something that we, as Christians, ought to take to heart regarding service to our Lord: When God is given all the glory and honor and we remain hidden in the background, more lives are led to Christ; and the kingdom of heaven is enriched and enlarged. The One who deserved unending recognition for what He did never even asked for a "thank you." He simply wanted people to love His Father and accept His forgiveness. Strive to serve like Jesus: with meekness, humility, and love.
