Jesus, the suffering servant

And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for he will bear all their sins. ~ Isaiah 53:11 (NLT)

For the Human One didn’t come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life to liberate many people. ~ Mark 10:45 (CEB)

KEY IDEA: Jesus served us by sacrificing his life to liberate us.

Lord, thank you for sacrificing your life so that we can live in freedom. Forgive me for not taking full advantage of that freedom -- and for even abusing it. Help me to exercise my freedom in a way that mimics your service. I want to be like you so that when people see me they are drawn to you. Amen.
