The Character of Jesus - SELF-SACRIFICING (2)

Read Mark 12:1-12.

"And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard." (v. 8)

Jesus came to the Jewish people after many prophets before Him had come. Many of them had been killed. He knew His death was eminent, yet He was willing to give Himself for us. He put His own needs after ours.

I need to put God's mission before my own needs. I, too, need to be a servant of others. May I be worthy to be last!
