Want to find Jesus?

On Sunday, our pastor dug into what it means to serve and have a heart of service.

He explored Jesus’ response to the quarreling of the disciples over who would be greatest in God’s Kingdom:

For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

Look around at the people in your life. Who is serving you? Who is demanding service from you? You’ll find Jesus in the one serving you.

• You’ll find Jesus in your waiter, your valet, your caddy.
• You’ll see Jesus in the family that invites you over for dinner.
• Jesus is in the years and years your parents cared for you (let’s be honest, you did little to repay their service).
• Jesus is in a wife that pauses what she’s doing to reheat some leftovers, even when you didn’t ask.
• Jesus is in the janitor.
• Jesus is in the guys stacking chairs after church is over.
• Jesus is in the businessman who helps the newly married couple get their finances straight.
• Jesus is in those who have given up their time and money to serve someone in need.
• Jesus is serving in the food line at the homeless shelter.
• Jesus is in the guy volunteering his time (lots of it) to orchestrate the band and lead worship on Sunday mornings.

Sometimes we try to introduce Jesus to others by telling them stuff.
Maybe we should just show them where Jesus already is…..
