Do you serve others, or do you serve yourself? Jesus came to serve not to be served. Matthew 20:28 says, just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” so in turn if we are to be like Jesus are we not to serve and not be served. I thought this and I know if I have others have too at one time and that is someone else can do that, someone else can serve there or in that ministry.
I learned that it takes all of us to serve in the kingdom of God. I always had servants' heart and have served in some capacity in the Churches I have been a part of. (I do not say this to boast but to tell you and be an example). I always got right in there and found where they need the most help and help them. I always tried to assist the pastor and what he is trying to accomplish for the kingdom.
We are to serve not be served. I'm not sure how that looks like for you but for me it was and is easy to know. I have talked about spiritual gifts and such and what you are good in the kingdom to do. So, all we all to have a servant's heart yes and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that. the bible is riddle with people serving others. Acts 2 verse 45 says, and they would sell their property and possessions and share them with all, to the extent that anyone had need. the people of this era served, and they did not wait to be served.
So, find ways to serve in your local church today and in your world to serve and advance the Kingdom of God. Become a servant is the Kingdom of God today.
Verse taken from the NASB
