The mark of our intimacy
with Jesus is not how awesome our experiences with him are. Nor how
long they are. Nor how often.
The mark of our intimacy
with him is how we serve others. The Bible says it better than I ever
could:
“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).
“[Jesus], who being in
very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be
grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a
servant, being made in human likeness” (Philippians 2:6-7).
“In humility, consider
others better than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3b)
We reflect the person we
spend time around the most. Jesus was the biggest servant humanity
ever saw or ever will. If we truly have intimacy with him, we'll show
that by serving those around us, and loving doing so.
