He Chose to Serve

Holy Week is always a little somber for me.  I know there is major celebration to come, but I am always humbled by the work Jesus did to get to victory.  When I think of the weight and shame laid on him, I don't even have words to describe what I feel inside.  I am beyond grateful for the mercy and grace of our Lord and the love that he showed and bestows.  No greater love hath a man than to lay down his life for another.  We are called to be servants of one another, to care for one another and be united in Christ.  Alas, the world is broken and we struggle to do so.  We want to lead and be strong, yet Christ's greatest strength was when he showed weakness, unto death on a cross, while we were yet sinners.  Humbling to have a Lord who chose to serve.  I choose to follow Christ.
