Bible Verse for Today 22 July 2022 MESSAGE
In the end times, Paul warned that humankind would be lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure – not lovers of God (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
We live in an all-about-me, get-rich-quick, have-it-all culture. Sacrifice for the benefit of another person has fallen by the wayside. Self-absorption leaves no room for responsibility or consideration of others.
This preoccupation with self runs exactly contrary to how Jesus’ followers will behave. He insisted that the greatest among us is actually the servant of all (Mark 9:35), that we are our brother’s keeper (1 Corinthians 8:12), that we should contribute generously and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7), and that we should love goodness, justice, and common sense (Titus 1:8).
Jesus once wrapped a towel around His waist and washed the disciples’ feet. Why would a King behave like a common servant? He taught them to extend His mission here on earth, to follow His example of humble service. Like us, these men were commissioned to move into the world serving God, serving one another, and serving all people to whom they took the message of salvation.
And when we follow the blueprint that He designed, we will shine like stars in the middle of this dark and evil last-days generation.
