"THE MAN FROM GOD"
Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast."
By the shores of the Sea of Tiberias with His disciples, Jesus served a breakfast of fish and bread. Just as He had done when He washed the disciples’ feet, He was setting an example. And like Jesus, we are to serve one another, even our close friends and loved ones, for whom it is sometimes difficult to do humble tasks. Professor Bill Brown of Bryan College told about a missionary who went to a tribe of Indians to present the gospel. At first the people received him with hesitation, referring to him as "the white man." As they got to know him better, they began to call him "the respectable white man." Later, when they saw the goodness of his heart and his desire for their well-being, they spoke of him as "the white Indian," indicating that they were accepting him as one of their own. When one of the Indians injured his foot, the missionary took the man into his home and gave him medical attention. The people were amazed, and began to call him "the man from God."
That missionary displayed a Christlike attitude, for Jesus did not come to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). If we humble ourselves and follow our Lord’s example, we too will become known as the man or woman from God.
True greatness does not lie with those who strife for worldly fame; It lies instead with those who choose to serve in Jesus name.
WE CAN DO GREAT THINGS FOR THE LORD IF WE ARE WILLING TO DO LITTLE THINGS FOR OTHERS.
