USELESS SERVANT
Luke 17: 7-10
Many friends ask me about our missionary service here in Bangkok. Most of them ask about to whom we serve? The answer is to the Buddhist people. Why? Because the majority of Thai people are Buddhists. Our missionary charism also is about bringing Jesus to those who don’t know Him yet. They are in this category.
Today’s Gospel tells about the servant. All the Christians are the servants of God. Jesus says that we are no more as a slave but as a servant. As Jesus says, servant intends to serve and not to be served. In our daily life in Bangkok, we are the servants. More details are useless servants because we serve the non-Christians people. But, are we really the useless servants? Yes, I think. It means that event we serve the non-Christians, actually not we who serve them but our Lord Jesus Christ. When we serve the Buddhist people we serve God. So, we try to see God in our missionary service.
How about you? Are you a servant also? To whom you serve? Let us ask the Lord to give us his Spirit to go on in our daily life as a useless servant of God.
