Serve?

Scripture: 24 Soon they found themselves arguing about the opposite question. Disciples: “Which one of us is the most faithful, the most important?” Jesus (interrupting) : 25 “The authority figures of the outsiders play this game, flexing their muscles in competition for power over one another, masking their quest for domination behind words like “benefactor” or “public servant.” 26 But you must not indulge in this charade. Instead, true servant.27 Who is greater right here as we eat this meal – those of us who sit at table or those serve us? Doesn’t everyone normally assume those who are served are greater than those who serve? But consider My role among you. I have been with you as a servant. 28 You have stood beside Me faithfully through My trials. 29 I give you a kingdom, just as the Father has given Me a kingdom. 30 You will eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will have authority over the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Luke 22:24-30 The Voice) Sometimes this concept of being a servant can be a hard (difficult) one to conceive, and then to learn. The thinking might be, “But if people see me serving, they won’t know how important I really am.” But Jesus said to His disciples, “I have been with you as a servant.” If that is what Jesus did, why should we think we should do any different? Lord, help me to really get this. I want to more and more do as You would do. I want a servant attitude rather than always looking for attention. You have shown the way, Jesus, and I want to follow. AMEN Father, You are a judge Who is perfectly fair. I will thank You, because You are just. I will sing praise to Your name. Psalm 7
