Hi, I'm Mark Wilson, a vicar in the Church of England
0:10
At Christmas, the line goes, it's better to give than to receive, but not in my brain
0:16
You see, I'm selfish in my heart of hearts, because I want it to be all about me
0:22
But I can't be the only one, right? we have that in us where we want people to focus on me myself and I however as we're in this time
0:33
of Lent we're not meant to be thinking like that we're to be focused on saying sorry to God and
0:39
serving others why because that's what Jesus did he's the one who sacrifices himself on the cross
0:51
He gives himself to others and totally as the Passover lamb. And then he asks for nothing in return
1:01
He is selfless, not selfish. You see, we think about I first and others second
1:11
But that needs to change. We need to be more like Jesus, who thought about us and offers us his life
1:19
as he died on the cross to save us from our sin, from all our selfishness
