The Service of Passionate Devotion

Today I was reading from my favorite devotional, "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers. I wanted to share some thoughts from that devotional from June 19th with you.

• Jesus did not say to make converts to your way of thinking, but He said to look after His sheep, to see that they get nourished in the knowledge of Him.
• Jesus Christ calls service to be what we are to Him, not what we do for Him.
• Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.
• So many people are devoted to causes and so few are devoted to Jesus Christ.
• Our Lord's primary obedience was to the will of His Father, not to the needs of people - the saving of people was the natural outcome of His obedience to the Father.
