Serve instead of wanting to be served

Pastor Gerrit Mes; from the pulpit

Our society has indoctrinated us to believe that we are number one, must be first, best and most important. Nobody wants to be the second fiddle. We love being served. It is all a lie, I promise you.

A few months ago I purchased an electric pressure cooker for myself. This is a big mind shift for Gerrit Mes.

I was raised to believe that men fix things and women cook. I made it clear to my wife that the pressure cooker was mine. I read the instructions and made my first meal in my pressure cooker, oxtail! It was amazing.

My wife was very impressed. Since then to last night when my wife arrived home I had cooked a meal, set the table and had a fire in the fire place.

I am not a hero, I am just a man who has discovered how special it is to serve. Jesus was the ultimate example of a servant.
