Are You Willing to Serve? - Love Worth Finding - May 31

May 31, 2024 – Are You Willing to Serve?
John 13:34-35
Sermon: 1686 How to Love as Jesus Loved, Part 2

Pray Over This

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:34-35

Ponder This

Love does not give people what they deserve. Love gives people what they need. And love is willing to serve the lowest. Some of you may think of yourself as above changing diapers and wonder if maybe you could teach a Bible class somewhere. But there is no task too menial for love to do. This includes the work in the kitchen, the work in the nursery, or anything else. Love does whatever needs to be done. What motivates people to do that? In John 13 we see the Lord of Glory, who knew He came from God and was going to God, who made the Universe and scooped out the seas. He placed the mountains, flung out the sun, moon, and stars. And He washed fishermen’s feet.

Ephesians 4:32 says, “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Paul essentially said, if Jesus forgives me, then surely, I can forgive you, right? Of course. If Jesus washed my feet, then surely, I can wash yours. Remember Jesus’ words: “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet” (John 13:14).

  • How do you serve those around you? What are jobs that most people overlook that you could help with?
  • Consider what Christ has done for you. How does that motivate you to love others?

Practice This

Do a task you normally overlook to serve someone else today.
