Jesus came to the earth and healed many diseases that afflict human beings.
Before Jesus took up the Cross for the atonement of the sins of all mankind,
He was brutally whipped on his body and cured all diseases of mankind.
The Lord served us unsparingly by laying down His life.
Still today, whoever meets Jesus can be cured of incurable diseases and his soul gets life in abundance. There is an abundance of life when serving in Jesus.
The word “Serve” in the Bible is not meant to serve with the mind of philanthropy, compassion or sentiment. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but
to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45).
As it is written, the Lord Jesus served humankind by giving up his life for atonement for mankind so all mankind is saved.
In the church, when elders, deaconesses and deacons serve with the mind of Jesus and the passion for winning souls, lots of souls will be saved.
Where you serve, there surely comes salvation for the people.
A pastor is an overseer who is anointed by the Holy Spirit to serve the saints sincerely by delivering the sermon with the mind of Jesus so that even one more person can be saved and go to heaven.
The people who were served like that carry out passionately his mission with gratitude because they are saved through the word of life of God.
You can see the mind of Jesus in them to win souls.
The purpose that a farmer scattered the seeds and apply fertilizer and pick weeds out of his fields is to harvest the abundance of fruits in autumn.
We also serve in the church in order to win numerous souls.
When we serve there are certainly lots of souls that are saved with the abundance of life through Jesus Christ.
That’s why the Church where many people serve increases in number.
God trusts the church that serves with passion for winning souls and bring salvation to people with more souls.
