For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. — 2 Corinthians 4:5

Our message is not ourselves. Jesus is the King. One day, everyone and everything will praise and honor him. But for the people around us to praise Jesus now, they need to see him alive in us. In Jesus’s name, we help other people. We are his body. We are his compassionate hands, his merciful heart, and his gentle voice. So let’s make Jesus known, not just by telling people about him, but also by serving others as if we were Jesus in the world.
