TO KNOW GOD AND TO MAKE GOD KNOWN
Lent with the Church of England
Serving the Community
Week 4 • Friday
Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.
Philippians 2.4
We might think that in writing this to a Christian community, St Paul intended the Church to focus on the interests of other Christians, rather than wider society.
In a climate of fear and anxiety, in which difference and otherness feel threatening, perhaps that makes some kind of sense. But Paul’s letter says the opposite: Christians are to do nothing – not a thing – from selfishness, but to look to the interests of others. The Church is to be the opposite of self-interested.
More than meeting basic needs or a special care for those on the margins, Christians are called to serve the good of the whole community in every community. It means showing up in our workplaces, schools, neighbourhood groups, shops, businesses, politics and beyond with an attitude of love, willingness to serve, and a heart to see the whole community flourish – because that matters to God.
Response
