On Jesus' return, He comes in all his glory to serve and wait on us?!?The new youth pastor tonight spoke about the idea that he came to PWC to serve the teens as Jesus came to serve the disciples(Luke 22:27) and all mankind(Phil 2:6-12).
and it hit me even deeper than earlier this year:God's Love never stops serving others,
Not even on his return!!!
Just as God served mankind from creation through Jesus' life and death, so he will continue to serve us even when he returns to take us home.
And we will continue to serve Him and others through His Love in us.

I guess my "Sunday school answer side" always saw Jesus as receiving AND accepting ALL the glory and attention on his return and in heaven, while i was playing a harp and contantly bowing down to him...
(and please don't misunderstand this to be saying that God isn't the main focus)
(and please don't misunderstand this to be saying that God isn't the main focus)
but what I failed to see about God's love is that even though He deserves all the praise and attention, His love doesn't focus only on himself, but also on loving us... How COOL is that!!!
Though God deserves all of the attention and praise on Himself, He always continues to give His attention and love to us... How COOL is that!!!
that is heaven...
that is a love that i want to have for others!!!
that even in my defining and greatest moments, my focus continues to be on loving and serving those i love and God, and not on myself. WOW.
Read the verse below one more time, and think about it throughout the day if you have the chance!

"like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them."Luke 12:36-37
