The exhausting serving

“I will most gladly spend and be spent for you. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? ”—2corinthians12:15

The love of humanity expects to gain the return, but Paul said:” No matter whether you love me, I am willing to try my best to sacrifice myself. Not only is it for you, but the most important thing is that you can be took in the front of God.” Everyone knows Jesus Christ’s grace that, though He was rich, yet for our sakes he became poor. About the serving, the idea of Paul is like Jesus. “No matter how I am exhausting, it is also my willing.” For Paul, this is a happy thing.

For the traditional church, the concept of the Lord’s servants is much different with Jesus Christ’s thoughts. Jesus taught us serving him by serving other people. Jesus Christ’s thought had a socialist tinge compared with socialist. In His kingdom, the most power will become the servants of people. For the disciples, the true test is not to preach His gospel, but He washed His disciples’ feet. Though the thing is insignificant in other people’s eyes, it is very vital in the Lord’s eyes. Because of the Lord, Paul was willing to be exhausting himself at all costs to serve others. We often think about economics and personal problems. If God asks me to there, what about the salary? How about the benefit package or weather? People always consider about these. The phenomenon means that we don’t serve the Lord with our whole hearts, but Paul followed God’s will without reservation. For the concept of new testament of Jesus Christ, Paul was lived in his life. He not only preached the gospel, but he became the bread which we broke and wine poured out.
