Serve Jesus Day 56
Those who are in Christ must be prepared not only to be a new creation but also to serve. Jesus states, "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me."1
Saint Cyprian, the martyred third century Bishop of Carthage, witnessed that "before I knew Christ, I did not know the possibilities of what I could become." Membership in the Body of Christ brings with it certain obligations. Jesus asserts, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."2
Jesus taught about the dangers of riches, "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."3 In Jesus' mind, it's a clear case of either-or. Dick Francis wrote, What did Jesus mean by "You cannot serve both God and Money?"
