Mark
10:43-45
Whoever wishes to become great among you
must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must
be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to
serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
What for?
It is for freedom that
we live, to live free … and to set others free from whatever enslaves them. This is
the divine purpose which Jesus lived every day.
Every morning he woke
knowing his holy purpose, the mission assigned to him by the Loving Mystery he
knew as ‘Father.’ And he didn’t forget this, ever. It was always at the forefront
of his mind: I exist to release the
bodies and souls of those for whom I am sent.
To know Jesus is to
know the freedom of heart he gives as we enter the circle of his love, into the
communion of those who know a Love like no other.
To follow him is to give
the gift that is uniquely yours to give, to offer the service and sacrifice
that releases the heart and empowers possibilities of another soul whom God so
loves.
The daily question for
followers of the way is, ‘Who and what am I for, today? Who will enter a more fulsome
and joyous life because of what I do and say? How can I set one human heart
free … today?’
You exist to set hearts free with the Love who is in you. This is your greatness, the most noble
of vocations.
Pr. David L. Miller
