Philippians 2:1-11

Servanthood is a foundational truth for us as Christians. Serving is your all access pass to everything of God. Having the heart of a servant and living like a servant is the most rewarding thing we can do as Christians. This principle, like so many other kingdom principles, goes against the view of the world. In the world servers are often looked down upon and treated poorly. We as Christians should go out of our way to treat people who are serving us as well as we possibly can. However, sometimes Christians in church have a sense that they are better than others.

John 13:3 - Jesus washing the disciples feet.

Many things happen that we don’t understand, but we have to move forward in mercy and grace. Jesus was not rigid, and God is not a rigid God. He understood that salvation works itself out day by day. We keep coming back to God and working areas out. We need to have mercy and grace for the people around us. If we are too black and white, we won’t have friends for too long. Show mercy on purpose. No matter what you think about what was done, said or anything.
