Work, Worship, and Service: A Fresh Perspective on Work
Avodah (עבודח) is a Hebrew word rich in meaning. It encompasses three fundamental concepts: work, worship, and service. Understanding this word's depth can revolutionise how we view and carry out our daily activities.
For many, work is simply a necessity for survival, a means to make a living. However, by integrating the meanings of avodah, work transcends this limited view, becoming an expression of worship and divine service.
Servant Leadership: Following Jesus’ Example
In Mark 10:42-45, Jesus turns the world’s concept of greatness on its head. True greatness, He teaches, is found in serving others. Jesus, the Son of God, had every right to demand service from others. Yet, He chose the path of humility and service. His entire life was a testament to this principle.
