The Grace of Christ be with you!
It was a servant (Naaman’s wife’s servant girl) who first offered hope to Naaman of a cure for his leprosy; a servant (the messenger) who told him how to be cured; and his own servants who convinced him to let go of his pride and try the cure. How can our church humbly fill the role of the servant who offers the hope and wisdom of Christ to the world?
Do we welcome the outcast or those who differ from us?
-
The foreigner from an enemy country?
-
Those with addictions or diseases such as AIDS?
-
Those from different ethnic or social classes?
Do we take the message of hope to those outside our church?
-
Do we seek to serve as Christ came to serve?
-
Do we invite new comers to our table at the Lord’s Supper?
-
Do we make our facilities available for community use?
Do we share our wisdom with those whose pride holds them back?
-
Speak out when others disparage the church.
-
Share the wisdom born of servant-hood in the church.
-
Provide a prospective of hope to the world.
The more I consider the story of Naaman the more I appreciate the important role the servants play in the healing of Naaman both of his leprosy and, perhaps, his pride.
The church, too, can play this role in the world when we follow the servant path of Christ.
Blessings, Will
