Christians are called to serve others, mirroring the military's dedication to service. Serving the church and those needing salvation is a privilege, not just a personal salvation. Like military veterans who served their country, Christians should serve God's kingdom with that same sense of honor. Service should be freely given, without expecting rewards, as Jesus taught. The story of the boy with the loaves and fishes illustrates this: his faith and willingness to give his meager resources allowed Jesus to perform a miracle. The boy's example shows the importance of recognizing one's ability to contribute, trusting God, letting go of control, and understanding the call to serve. True service, even when uncomfortable or sacrificial, opens the door to God's blessings. Faithfulness in service, especially to strangers, is a key aspect of Christian life.
