Who are you called to serve as if they were Christ?

“Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord, and not men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you are serving the Lord Christ.” -Colossians 3:23

Jesus tells us in Matthew 25:35 that when we feed the hungry, we feed him, and when we visit the lonely, we visit him. Even if the hungry person is our 15-month-old whining and impatient toddler. Even if that lonely person is an aging parent, or a spouse who needs a hug and a good listener after a long week at work.

God calls us to serve those around us in, whatever our state in life, both cheerfully and “heartily, as serving the Lord, and not men.” 

What a challenge.

What a call to extra-ordinary holiness–and grace.

Who are you called to serve as if they were Christ today?
