Mark 10-45 It’s like a Neverending Gobstopper

Posted on by Just broken

Mark 10:45
“45 For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

How many of us are willing to give up something to give someone a hand up? I mean really give something up? Like trade in the nice car for a beater? The nice home for a shack? Our life for someone else’s?

I don’t know anyone – could be the circle of friends I have, but I doubt it. It just doesn’t exist much more. Pockets, yes. Individuals yes. I know I’m not capable of drinking from His cup.

He calls us to serve sacrificially, to be the light, to push back the darkness. Do we, or do we not? Do we give of ourselves sacrificially? Do we humble ourselves to serve? Do we put ourselves second, third, fourth? Do we give sacrificially?

Christ did for us, He gave up his life as a ransom for many.

Will you heed the call? Will you recognize the amazing gift? Will you admit to the incredible sacrifice?

It’s like a Neverending Gobstopper, just infinitely better, infinitely costlier, infinitely more rewarding, infinitely more lasting.

To serve, to give up our lives in service, in love, that’s what Christ followers are called to do. What does your life look like?

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
