Humility In Serving

 

Humility in Serving

 

JESUS never taught about leading, He taught about serving!

 

“And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave – just as The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His Life a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:27-28 (Matthew 20:20-28; Mark 10:35-45; Romans 12:9-21)

 

“So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what is our duty to do.’” Luke 17:10 (Luke 17:5-10; Proverbs 27:18; Romans 12:1-2)

 

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” Matthew 25:21 (Matthew 25:14-30)

 

“Then The King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit The Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:’” Matthew 25:34 (Matthew 25:31-46)

 

“If any one serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.” John 12:26 (John 12:20-26; Matthew 16:24-27; John 14:1-6)

 

“For you brethren, have been Called to Liberty; only do not use Liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through Love Serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even this: ‘You shall Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Galatians 5:13-14

JESUS taught this principle, “Teacher, which is the Great Command in The Law? JESUS said to him, ‘You shall Love The LORD your GOD with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the First and Great Commandment. And the Second is like it: ‘You shall Love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:36-40

 

“I, therefore the prisoner of The LORD, beseech you to walk worthy of the Calling with which you were Called, with all Lowliness and Gentleness, with Longsuffering, Bearing one another in Love, Endeavoring to keep the Unity of The SPIRIT in the Bond of Peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3

Every person is called of GOD for a specific purpose in the earth and in GOD’s eternal Kingdom. Most of us will never know it or live up to it, even Christians. (Psalm 139:13-18; Matthew 7:21-23, Romans 12:26-36)

 

“There is one Body and one SPIRIT, just as you were called in the hope of your Calling; one LORD, one Faith, one Baptism; one GOD and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all and in you all. But to each one of us Grace was given according to the measure of CHRIST’s Gift.” Ephesians 4:4-7

There is only One GOD! (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Malachi 2:10; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 18-27; 1 Timothy 2:5-6)

 

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists and some pastors and some teachers, for the equipping of the Saints for the Work of the Ministry, for the Edifying of the Body of CHRIST, till we all come to the Unity of Faith and the knowledge of The Son of GOD, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of CHRIST; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but speaking The Truth in Love, may grow up in all things into Him Who is Head – CHRIST – from whom the whole Body, joined and knit together by what every join supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the Body for the Edifying of itself in Love.”

Ephesians 4:11-16 (1 Corinthians 12:28-31)
