“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45
Interesting…the natural person thinks of what they may receive at Christmas, for surely they’ve earned it, at least a little, right?…
Yet, Christmas tells of the One who laid down His life for those who recognize their truly needy condition, that they might have real life, and then out of gratitude, follow His example in serving.
Such devotion and sacrifice may not go viral on social media, but then what does social media know of humility, sacrifice, selfishness, and service anyway?
Want a Christmas to remember? See and live it through Mark 10:45 lenses. Then, just maybe, your “one little candle” will shine a little brighter, bringing you joy and purpose, illuminating the darkness for another person, and radiating praise to Immanuel Jesus, “God with us…to save us from our sins”
(Matthew 1:21-23).
