During his earthly ministry, Jesus pointed out that lords give orders and demand loyalty. "It shall not be so among you." he said. Jesus came to serve, not to be served.
Not often enough do we grasp this life-altering affirmation. Lives are forever made different when they are touched with an acknowledgement of the distance God will go in order to have us know we are loved and cared for.
This is why I am eager for others to experience the community of faith. This is why I work to created opportunities for the Jesus story to be told and experienced and lived.
Everything changes when we come to see the depth of God's love for us. Everything is possible when we live with the affirmation of God's acceptance.
