How can we serve others? I once had an adult ask, “Why should you care? What’s the point? What is the angle? Why are you being nice to me?’ I’m not sure what all the reasons were for that reaction to my efforts. Maybe no one else had been nice enough to earn their trust. We see so many examples of people trying to manipulate and use others’ stories for an agenda. Christ followers are far different than any agenda for personal gain. The purpose of our efforts is to follow Christ and live by His example, as if He were living through us.
“Every disciple of Jesus has been called, loved, created, and saved to make disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus until the grace of God is enjoyed and the glory of God is exalted among every people group on the planet. And on that day, every disciple of Jesus—every follower of Christ and fisher of men—will see the Savior’s face and behold the Father’s splendor in a scene of indescribable beauty and everlasting bliss that will never, ever fade away. This is a call worth dying for. This is a King worth living for..” - David Platt, Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live
