Jesus loves you
Jesus Loves You Devotional
6th week – Jesus Loves You! Being a Servant to the others is the greatest calling a person can function in!
“Just as our bodies are composed of many parts and all the parts are needed to form a complete body, so is with Christ’s Body, the Church. It too is composed of many parts, and we are the parts” 1 Corinthians 12:12 (The Living Bible)
There is nothing greater a person can achieve in this life than to let the Love of the Lord fill his heart to such overflowing, that he becomes a servant to the other people. 1 Corinthians 13th chapter is very well known as the Love chapter in the Bible. It clearly shows that You can have the greatest ministry of faith and power on the Earth, and yet, without love – it will be not worth it. More than that – it will be counted as NOTHING (13:1-3).
There are so many Christians in the world today and yet, there is so much strife, anger, bitterness, hate and apathy towards each other.
It’s no coincidence that the teaching about the Body in 1 Corinthians 12 precedes the Love chapter, because what better comparison can You find, between Love in all its qualities and all the parts of the Human Body?
The parts of the Human Body are patient and kind towards each other; they are never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. They never demand their own way. They are not irritable or touchy. They do not hold grudges. They are always sopportative, always giving all from themselves, so the other parts can reach their full potential. It can very well be said that they: “always believe, always hope and always endure”. If we are able to do that for the other parts of the Body of Christ – our brothers and sisters – our life will have the Divine value it has been given to us for.
JESUS LOVES YOU
