Serve:

You can minister and serve even as Christ ministered and served.

Christ gave and scarified Himself to the ultimate degree to reach out to men: He bore the sins of men. You, of course, cannot bear the sins of men; but you can bear the burdens of men. You can…

-           be compassionate

-           encourage

-           pray

-           forgive

-           be warm and tender

-           share the promise of God

-           sympathize

-           meet needs

-           visit encourage and strengthen

-           share the hope of eternal life

-           heal the brokenhearted

-           give sight to the blind

-           set free the bruised  

Note the word “servant” (Mt. 20:26-28). It means bond-slave, to be bound to the Lord every moment of life. The idea is not occasional service, but constant service. You are to be always serving and ministering, regardless of the hour or call or difficulty. As a believer, you are the bond-slave of Christ—His servant every hour of every day—commissioned to meet the needs of people. You are to minister and serve even as Christ ministered and served.
