LAST IS FIRST
Mark 9:35: “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.” Jesus said this to the Apostle’s when He explained that people must ‘come to Him as little children.’ The greatest example we have is Jesus who served us during His brief life on earth culminating in the most unselfish act ever witnessed-the Crucifixion.
To serve Him is to “love Him and our neighbor as we would ourselves,” as told by Jesus. We worship God in this way and we honor Him by doing this work.
In my dwindling years I will honor Him by loving Him and loving my neighbor as I would myself; I know the latter is not always easy but at the very least we can try. It will be much easier to accomplish this if only we will learn to love each day.
