The Impact of Serving
Mark 10:32-45
1. Remember the sacrifice of Jesus
Verses 32-34
Romans 5:8-“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
John 3:16-17-“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
2. Willing to sacrifice
Verses 35–38, 41
John 15:20-“Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.”
3. Follow Jesus’ example
Verses 42-45
Acts 2:41-47-“Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”
