The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue many people. ~ Matthew 20:28 (CEV)
Gracious God, of all beings you deserve to be served. But you choose to serve and to sacrifice so that we can experience freedom. It would be a great insult to you if we did not take advantage of the salvation that you have provided. And it would not make very much sense to ignore such a gift. But my actions and attitudes do not always make good sense. Please extend your redemption to further free me from my ungodliness. I really want to serve you in the same way that you have served me. Help me to see how I can do that today. Amen.
