Born to Die
"Born to die." Isn't that phrase a show stopper?
We look at a newborn child and think, "God has a plan for your life." But not a plan to come to serve others and die. Does anyone pray, "Lord, make this child a servant, someone who continually self sacrifices, sees to the needs of others and willing die for their salvation." No, only God has done that.
"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
The purpose of Christ's birth was His death.
The purpose of Christ's death was His resurrection.
The purpose of Christ's resurrection was our salvation!
Let's take a moment to ask God what his purpose is for us today. Lord, give us each someone to serve in Your name today.
