For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.

Mark 10:45

• What was the motive Jesus’ ministry? – to serve and paying for our salvation.
• James and John wanted the highest positions in Jesus’ kingdom.
• But Jesus told them that true greatness comes in serving others.
• In Christ’s kingdom, service is the way to get ahead.
• Jesus paid the price to release us from slavery to sin and the devil.
• His death on the cross is the price paid for the release of men and women from sin’s dominion.
• Jesus paid this ransom for us because we could not pay it ourselves.
• So, rather than seeking to have your needs met, look for ways that you can minister to the needs of others.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You because I was saved to serve You. Thank You for releasing me from condemnation, sin, and death, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday. Good morning. Shalom!

God bless you always and in all ways.
