The message of Christ, and the example of His life here on earth, was summed up in the expression, "It is more blessed to give than receive" (Acts 20:35). To serve rather than be served was the motto He expressed, and exampled, to His disciples, and yet, so many in the Church today live to bless themselves at the expense of others. Is this what Jesus was about? Is this what He taught? Or was His message more about radical giving, sacrificial love, and choosing to be "mistreated with the people of God rather than enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin with the world"? He was a man, wholly true to His mission, and no lure of this world was enough to entice Him to build His own kingdom of His own will here of earth! May we live our lives for the joys of what we can give for our King, not what we can attain for ourselves, being wholly devoted to the King of kings...for, "here we have no lasting city, we seek the city that is to come" (Hebrews 13:14)
