The Needs of Others

Matthew 20:16

New International Version (NIV)


16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

"Where does our significance lie? Is it in having a successful career and following our dreams and passions? While that is not insignificant, it doesn't make us significant. We are each significant because we've been created, redeemed by Christ, and adopted into His family. That’s where our true worth is found.

And the most significant work, Jesus reminds us, is to serve others, even when it means we remain unseen or get no gratitude. With Jesus in the lead, we’re invited to the all-important work of daily looking to the needs of others before our own." - Michael Jantzen

To Encourage...

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
