God gives us in the darkness of this world many glimpses of heaven’s blessed life. The Scriptures are full of windows through which the light pours. And every disclosure of heavenly existence that is made to us shows us life without one trace of selfishness, earnestly devoted to the service of others. Angel-life is very pure, holy, and blessed, and yet these celestial beings, the angels, find their employment in serving. It is their joy to minister not to be ministered unto. If we would be as the angels, we must have the same spirit. Then the Son of God came, and his life's spirit was described in his own words, “The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” Serving is therefore the most exalted, the divinest thought of life.
