Service

Exodus 12:26

And when your children  ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’

John 6:2

and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs  he had performed by healing the sick.

Romans 12:1

Therefore, I urge you,  brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,  holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Ephesians 6:7

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,

Revelation 2:19

I know your deeds,  your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

Luke 6:27

"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you..."

Jesus was the perfect example of this command in his life and death. Love has such redemptive, life-changing power. While not everyone responds, many do. While being kind in our deeds and loving in our hearts to our enemies is not easy, God's Spirit can fill us with Jesus' love and help us live powerful lives of grace even in the presence of those who hate us.

Thoughts 

"Pardon comes not to the soul alone; or rather, Christ comes not to the soul with pardon only! It is that which He opens the door and enters by, but He comes

"God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds. He spoke a Book and lives in His spoken words, constantly speaking His words and causing the power of them to persist across the years."
