Why are we to be motivated by the things of God? Why do we pursue such an enduring unity of mind, love, spirit and purpose. Why do we not seek to act out of our own selfish ambition? Why do we consider others as better than ourselves? And most of all, why do we look out for the interests of others?
It is because this is what Jesus did. He gave up His place in heaven beside His Father. He loved us enough that He came to this earth, lived among us and died for us on a cross. In His death He took on Himself our sins and trespasses against His Father. He justified us and made us heirs of eternal life when He owed us nothing. He looked out not only for His own interests but for ours. He treated us as greater than Himself
For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves. Luke 22:27
Do you want to be more like Jesus? Are you willing to follow Him wherever He leads you?
