JESUS: The Expert on Service and Joy



           Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  And have your serve others a generous portion, as well?

            We use the word “serve” often, but how do we apply it to our own lives?  The best teacher on this subject—the expert of experts— is Jesus!  He served, as he went along “throughout his day.”  Many times he went “out of his way” to serve. And He served “in all kinds of ways.” 

            You see, Jesus had a servant’s heart, though He was the “King of kings”.  If we will follow His example and develop the humble attitude of a true servant,  our way of thinking will completely change.  A job title or position or our rights will become of little importance to us.  

            Some of the best bosses that I’ve ever had were those who never thought they were too important to do any task, whether it was emptying the garbage cans or making difficult executive decisions. In Matthew 20 Jesus taught that “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant….just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.”

            Do you expect others to always be serving YOU?  Or do you have the attitude of Jesus and look for ways to serve others?  If we want to experience a life of fulfillment and joy, we will desire a servant’s heart. 

Drink your Joy Juice faithfully. This will help you to serve others with a joyful heart.
