Devotional Thought

Spend time this week with Jesus’challenge, “Not to be served, but to serve” (Matthew 20:28).  If only every leader in our world had the attitude that they are in their leadership positions “not to be served, but to serve”. What a difference it would make! If every national leader, or CEO, the leaders of our bikie gangs and sports teams valued the opportunity to serve, more than winning, gaining power, or simply being in it to see what they can get out of it. Jesus wasn’t just a King and a great leader. He is God himself. He promised us that He came not to be served but to serve. As such, He gave his life for us.

On Anzac Day, a text that also inspires us is John 15:13, “No one has greater love than the one who gives their life for their friends”.

Let Jesus’ example inspire you this week.
