Servant of All
Servant of All
Rapsodie Adams
As the Bible plays out the most beautiful story of Jesus’ service to man, let us follow along. Matt. 12:18, Jesus was chosen by His Father to be His servant. Matt. 9:35, Jesus tells His disciples, if any of them want to be first, they must be last and become a servant of all. Luke. 16:13, Jesus said, no servant can serve two masters, for he will hate the one and love the other, God and mammon (riches). Phil. 2:7, says that Jesus made himself of no reputation, but took upon himself the form of a servant.
There is so much more to write about; much, much more, but I have selected Luke 12:37 to bring to an end this short but beautiful story of Jesus’ servitude. “Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when He cometh shall find watching. I say unto you, that He shall gird Himself and make them to sit down to meat and will come forth to serve them.”
A Prayer
Dear Father, how can I ever comprehend, that the little I have done for you could ever constitute you seating me at a table and serving me? Lord, as I live through eternity, nothing I do for you will help me to come to an understanding of why you would serve me. The thought breaks me into a million pieces and leaves me facedown at your feet; sobbing and saying, “Lord how can you love me like that.”
Be blessed in Jesus’ name.
