What would change tomorrow if you forgot about serving others — and simply served the work?
In Week 5 of our post-Easter series, we learn that for work to become a delight and fulfillment, it has to become something we submit to — not a means of getting something, but the medium through which we offer our whole selves to God. And in one of the most counterintuitive moves in the series: serving the work — not the people — is actually the only way to truly serve the people.
Reflection Questions:

1. What would be different if I "forgot the community and served the work" tomorrow?
2. Where have I experienced the goodness of someone who was truly "serving the work"?
