The Fifth Mark of Discipleship

Service

Remember the words of the prophet Micah, and his one-line definition of the spiritual life: “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).

There is no getting around it. The life of a disciple involves service. The Gospel of John tells us that “God so loved the world that He gave His only son” (John 3:16) and that God intends to keep on loving the world through us, God’s beloved disciples of Jesus (John 13:34-35).

Justice and love are not options for those who follow Jesus. Service is a key mark of discipleship!
