It is not about you!

Mark 9: 35

Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."

The theme of this week’s devotions, will be servant hood.

Would you say you have a servants heart, that is set on serving the needs of others?

Or do you on the other hand, have a desire to only serve yourself?

Most people when mentioning the name, Louis Pasteur, would know immediately who he was, by looking at a carton of milk.

Louis Pasteur developed the process of pasteurization, which saved countless people, from certain death and sickness.

What most people don’t know, is that Pasteur was also a devote Christian.

He was a humble man, and was totally unwilling to accept credit, for the research work he did.

He looked no further than the example of Christ as a servant, and he would often push himself into experiments well into the night, just so that he could help serve the needs of others.

Pasteur was known for this saying… “A man is not known by how many servants he owns, but by the number of men he serves.”

Jesus said that if we wanted to be first, we must be last, and the servant of all.

I’ll bet the world we live in today, would look so much different than it does, if we modeled ourselves after Louis Pasteur, who modeled himself after Jesus….
