The Ultimate Act of Service
Devotional: The culmination of Jesus's servant heart was demonstrated at the cross. This wasn't just another act of service - it was the ultimate expression of sacrificial love. Jesus gave up everything, including His life, to serve humanity in the most profound way possible. His sacrifice shows us that true service often comes at a cost. While we may not be called to give our lives literally, we are called to die to our selfish desires and comfort zones to serve others effectively. When we serve in light of the cross, our perspective on sacrifice changes. What we give up seems small compared to what Christ gave for us.
Key Bible Verse: 'For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.' - Mark 10:45
Reflection Question: What sacrifices might God be asking you to make to serve others more effectively?
Quote: Jesus gave up heaven for us to have eternity. He showed us this ultimate act of serving.
Prayer: Jesus, thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. Help me to serve others sacrificially, remembering the price You paid for me. Amen.
