THE GREATEST SERVANT
"It is not so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you
shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall 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 20:26-28
Many in our world, both secular and religious, want to be a celebrity.
To be great; to be known; and to be wealthy with honor is an aspiration for many! Saints, it should not be so among the people of God. There are many references to this in the word of God, but what
Jesus shared in these verses reveals what should be in our hearts.
The heart of a servant is one of the greatest attributes among Godly
people. It should be this way because our Lord Jesus came to serve. He came to die and to be a ransom to free us from our sins. He became an obedient Son even to the point of death to be the blood
ransom which freed us from sin!
Since He is always to be our example of a mature person in Father, we
should always look to His walk to follow. He was not in royal attire even though He was royalty! He was not born into wealth though He owns all! He died an ignominious death to free
others!!
Apostle James
