Why We Serve
We serve because Jesus served.
We love because Jesus loved.
We serve and love because we?ve been served and love.
The act of serving another in Christ enacts something far more profound and deep than simply helping someone out. The one being served gets a taste of unconditional love and perhaps experiences hope or beauty for the first time in weeks, months, or years. In this, worldviews change, brokenness is healed, and the Good News of Jesus becomes tangible. But service in not a one-way act. Loving service transforms the server as well as one is pulled from the delusions of individualism, materialism, and selfishness and consistently forced to walk in generosity, humility, and community in ways that are often uncomfortable but needed. It's possible that to love and serve is the very essence what it means to live as a follower of Jesus as it makes the unconditional love of Jesus known in real and powerful ways and is an open acknowledgement of an understanding as to how we have been served and loved by Jesus in our brokenness. Such realities are the very heart of living out the Gospel and go far beyond simply helping out.
