He went on—and here’s my actual point: “Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he [the master] will dress himself for service and have them [the servants] recline at table, and he will come and serve them.”5 See, this is why that axiom of Jesus is true, that “it is more blessed to give than to receive.”6 When we are faithful to watch for opportunities to serve, when we live our lives at the ready for the Master’s call, we’re the ones who get served in the end. Our Master will actually tend to our every need.
