For
even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his
life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45
Read the
verse in context:
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came over
and spoke to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do us a
favor." "What is your request?" he asked. They replied,
"When you sit on your glorious throne, we want to sit in places of honor
next to you, one on your right and the other on your left." But Jesus said
to them, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from
the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink? Are you able to be baptized
with the baptism of suffering I must be baptized with?" "Oh
yes," they replied, "we are able!" Then Jesus told them,
"You will indeed drink from my bitter cup and be baptized with my baptism
of suffering. But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left.
God has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen." When the ten
other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant. So
Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers in this
world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over
those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a
leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you
must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be
served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:35-45

| The Empty Tomb Jerusalem, Israel |
He is Risen…He is Risen Indeed! The tomb in
which they laid Him is empty.
Our Savior is Alive! Unlike other religious
leaders like Buddha and Mohammad, Jesus rose from the dead. He is alive even
today, seated at the right hand of God the Father in Heaven. Our Savior…the Servant.
Our Savior…the Savior of the World. Our Savior…the King of Kings. Will you
believe? Will you worship Him?
Prayer
~ Thank You Jesus that we can believe without seeing. Thank You for granting us
such faith…and for dying for our sins.
