We are asking the question: What does service for a present-day disciple of Jesus look like? You probably know, the original disciples didn’t have halos or harps and sit around all day at Jesus’ feet. They struggled with the kinds of demands placed upon them, so they ask Jesus for more faith. In reply, Jesus tells them even a little faith is sufficient because service is marked by duty. He tells them a story to show how a servant obeys his master and expects nothing in return. How can disciples serve like that? Disciples are called to love and serve God with heart, soul, mind and strength. Serving God is a matter of grace alone.
