An Obligation to Serve
Jesus said,
"Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:42-45.
This is an important part of scripture. Notice here Jesus dose not mention a Christians rights. Many Christians living here in North America tend to believe they have rights be in under the constitution or some law.
Jesus however never mentions having rights.
Jesus here in Mark 10:42-45 is telling Christians you have obligations to serve others. Jesus make it clear the greatest among us is the one who serves.
As I’ve grown as a Christian I’ve found that I have obligations,
To serve God,
To serve my wife and family
To serve those around me however I can.
Please think about it.
