The greatest among you shall be your servant.
Matthew 23:11, ESV
We show the hope we have by copying our Lord – not demanding our own way but serving others, for we know our award awaits eternity.
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Psalm 46:10, ESV
Why do we share the Gospel? We trust that God is in control and will one day dwell with His people on a new Earth.
This is our hope and peace.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13, ESV
We have faith in the Faithful One who saves us, hope in His return, and love Him by loving others through compassion and sharing the good news of His saving work and imminent return.
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace

The Holy Spirit gives us gifts to spread the Gospel and encourage and edify the Church to the glory of God.
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
Colossians 4:6, ESV
We ought to be more kind to those outside the Church, for they are lost, just as Jesus spoke kindly to lost sinners. May they see our gratitude for a kind Savior through our kindness yet firmness on truth.
but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect
1 Peter 3:15, ESV
We must share our faith, but we remember that we are talking to people like us: sinners in need of a Savior. This reminds us to have the same gentle compassion Christ had with us.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:1, ESV
Because of Christ’s death on the cross and resurrection from the dead, all of our got and Shane is washed away. Each and every part of our sin is removed. We are free from eternal consequences of our sin.
He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
Matthew 28:6, ESV
Christianity is the only religion with a founder who died but came back to life forever.
Take comfort in the Truth.
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39, ESV
For He is risen!
There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”
Luke 23:38, ESV
Our Lord was mocked, yet the mockers did not realize the truth they either stated or misunderstood.
Likewise, Christians receive the same treatment, but we know they are truly attacking and mocking Christ and still missing the truth of His redemptive work on that cross.
