The greatest among you shall be your servant. -Matthew 23:11
Jesus Christ is the one we are striving to be like, and He is the One we desire for our sons to be like. When He was on earth He showed us what a servant looked like. He was all perfect and He purposefully served others. If we want our sons to be like Christ, we need to show them what a servant looks like.
Brooke encourages us to "Try finding ways to serve with your family... Find ways to teach your sons the value of serving others." This is another one of those biblical words (like obedience, wise man, foolish man) that needs to be introduced to our sons so they have a grasp on what it really means.
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” -Galatians 5:13-14
Today I pray that my son has a heart like Christ, that of a servant to all. That he understands the freedom we have in knowing Christ and then uses that freedom to serve.
May my son serve wholeheartedly, as if he were serving the Lord, not men. (Ephesians 6:7)
