Sunday’s Food for Thought – Not just about self
As usual, I learned a lot from today’s sermon, delivered by Rev. Stephen Tong.
Here’s today’s food for thought.
Too often we think only about ourselves (and our own beloved family). We think about how much we can gain for ourselves and how much we will receive from other people. How WE are the centre of everything because WE feel we’re more important than others.
And the fact that everyone else (read: our society) does the same thing sometimes ‘justifies’ our own actions too. That it’s completely ‘normal’ to focus on just me, me and me.
Today I’m reminded again that instead of thinking about how much we can gain, we should in fact start thinking about how much we can share and give.
How much can I can sacrifice for others? How much can I contribute?
Just like how a candle lights up and brightens its surrounding only when it melts itself.
And One Person, Jesus Christ, sure has shown how HE put others ahead of Himself and sacrificed Himself for the salvation of others.
