Matthew 19:14

I can remember going to Sunday school and learning all of the wonderful things Jesus did for me. And at the end of each class we would sing, “Jesus loves the little children.” Although I didn’t quite understand what this meant, I happily belted out the words. Because it was pure joy to know I was precious in His sight. And that kind of innocent, childlike delight and faith, the kind that believes God can do anything, is just what our Father wants us to have. Children, in their humility, aren’t concerned with the things of the world. They aren’t worried about fame and fortune. All they know is the tender care and trust they put in the one they love. The arms of Jesus are always open to His children. He wants us to approach His throne of grace with joy, innocence, and humility. To have open, moldable hearts of a child. Hearts that believe, Jesus loves the little children of the world!

Ephesians 5:1

When my son was little he used to love to imitate everything my husband did. From stomping around in his work boots, to pretending he was drinking coffee before going to work. He was always trying to be just like his daddy. And as Christians, we too should be imitators of our Father in heaven. Living lives that reflect the grace, kindness, mercy, and love of Jesus. For the Lord is our perfect example in all things. And with hearts and attitudes of thankfulness, each day we should be striving to grow more into the beautiful likeness of our Savior. That means casting aside our fleshly living with it’s lustful desires, and “me first” attitude. And instead imitating the life of Jesus by walking in truth, obedience, humility, and love. So whoever sees us knows by our actions, to whom we belong. That we are the children of the most high God, and a fragrant aroma to the world!

Philippians 2:3

In the greatest example of humility, Jesus left His glorious throne in heaven to be ridiculed, persecuted, tortured, and crucified. He set aside His royalty to redeem all who call Him Lord. Such selflessness, grace, and sacrifice stands as a model for all Christians. Instead of focusing on ourselves, our needs and wants, we are to put others best interests before our own. Now that doesn’t mean thinking less of ourselves, but rather thinking of ourselves less. If we truly abide in Jesus, then we should follow His golden rule. “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12)

Titus 3:2

We’ve all heard the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do to you. But to God, this more than a suggestion, it’s a commandment. In his letter to Titus, Paul makes it clear that if we truly abide in Jesus, it will be evident in the way we treat others. Throughout His ministry, Jesus put the needs of others before His  own. And Paul admonishes us to do the same. “ Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.” (Phil. 2:3) To be good ambassadors of Jesus, we need to resemble His behavior in all we do!

John 13:14

One of the last acts Jesus performed on the earth was to wash the feet of His disciples. In a display of great love, grace, and humility, the Lord took a basin of water and wiped away their filth. And just like the unmerited favor He showed His followers, Jesus wants us to show each other. We too need to grab our basins and wash the feet of others in that same humility, grace, and love. How? By sharing with them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For the Word of the Lord washes away every sin, leaving us clean and declared righteous.

Who Is The Greatest – (Luke 22)

Luke 22

I remember a time at a funeral and standing in line to sign the remembrance book. Ahead of me was a family with two small boys each eager to sign his own name. Taking their turns, they stepped up and carefully added their signatures. Immediately after, they began arguing over whose was the best. I couldn’t help but chuckle and feel a pang of sympathy for the young Mother as she asked in an exasperated voice, “Do we have to do this now guys?” We expect that silly competitive behavior from children, and especially between siblings, but not from men who had been walking with Jesus. And certainly not on the last night they would spend with Him before His sacrificial death on the Cross. …

Loving One Another – (John 13)

John 13

When you think of Jesus what is the first thing that pops into your head? For me it is His love. His love that He so freely and joyfully gives to me. A love that is so strong, He laid down His life to call me His own. And I in return love Him. But that isn’t enough. For Jesus wants more than my love, He wants me to love others with the same passion that I reserve for Him. …
