Loving His Enemies

Matthew 20:28

Even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Devotional:

The morning after Sudanese Air Force bombers struck his village in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains, Pastor Morris prepared to go to jail. The pastor had done nothing wrong. He went by choice, in obedience to Christ’s command to “Love your enemies.” For Pastor Morris, that meant packing soap, food, clothes, and shoes to give to Muslim prisoners of war who served the same government that had bombed his village the previous night. The visits have borne fruit. Hearts have changed. Even in jail, the prisoners found freedom.

As Christ’s disciples, we’re called to live in service to others. What’s one way you can honor Jesus today by serving someone in his name?
