Service
John13:13-14
13. You call me Teacher
and Lord, and rightly so, for that is what I am.
14. Now that I, your
Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's
feet.
"Jesus sets an example for us
to extend the same humble service."
We serve many people.
We serve our boss, our country, our community, our neighbourhood and our
families by bringing to these areas a contribution of not just our talents
but also ourselves as a person becoming part of a social fabric with relationships,
interactions and a commitment to act in a way for the common good. Yet
to call these a role of a servant would invite the response that we are
in no way a servant to anyone.
Jesus calls us
to a life time of obedience as a servant within the kingdom of God. This
life time of service is in gratitude to what Jesus has done for us by giving
up His life for us so we could be rescued from drowning in the sea of this
present evil age and it's destiny of hell forever. As a servant of the
most high we are accountable first to Christ and the work He has assigned
to us. Christ calls us to a lifetime of servant hood dedicating each breathing
moment in His service to the King of Kings. He calls us to give up our
worldly destinies and make our one and only destiny the kingdom of God.
Christ came as a servant
of His Father in heaven to be subjected to the plan of redemption and to
redeem us and afterwards rise above his servant hood to sit at the right
hand of the father in heaven to reign forever more.
Servant
hood in the kingdom of the most high means giving up our ego and our self
will but Christ promises us if we take the path of a servant He will richly
and abundantly bless us and give us the right to be adopted into the family
of God as sons and daughters of God and as brothers and sisters of Christ
Jesus. Praise the Lord for ever more.
His saints from
all over this world stand in His service to do His bidding as servants
of the most high and to reach out to a dark world to bring into it the
light of all lights, Jesus Christ. Jesus can use you only if you are willing
to take the position of a servant to bring the good news to the land. God
will bless you and reward you in this life and even more importantly in
the life to come.
