Jesus Served

If you knew you only had 21 hours left to live on Planet Earth, what would you do? Most of us, if not all of us, would not spend our time serving other people, especially ones who would let us down. We would most likely spend our last hours being served. If you follow similar questions like this on the web, you will see that people typically respond with statements like...

"I would have sex with my girlfriend all day."
"I would go to places I have never seen."
"I would spend time with my family."
"I would tell my best friend of my secret love for them."
"I would party."

and the funniest...

"I would get a second opinion."

Jesus started His last 21 hours by serving the men who would desert Him, deny Him and betray Him. Jesus had a mission statement and it is found in Mark 10:45. It says, "I did not come to be served but to serve and to give my life as a ransom for many." The fact that Jesus served rather than being served was just in keeping with His mission on earth. He came to serve. His love is demonstrated by His service to humanity.
