This sermon reflects on the unique and unparalleled service of Jesus Christ. He who was and is God incarnate, lowered himself across his life, culminating in his death on the cross. This loving act of service meets the greatest needs of his followers, freedom from sin and death.

God calls his beloved followers to use their freedom to imitate his perfect example. This isn't because God has a need that our service fulfils. Instead, it is befitting that as followers of Christ, we would obediently seek to imitate him. Furthermore, as we do, the promise is that we will received blessedness either in this life or in eternity. 

Thus, it is a privilege for a follower of Christ, to use their gifts/skills/capabilities to joyfully serve inside and outside of the Church wherever possible.
