“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.???
(Matthew 20:26-28)
Dorothy was depressed.? Although she loved the people she worked with, she was not happy with her job.? ? In her home country, she was a doctor’s assistant.? But her family was in terrible danger there, so they left.? And being a servant was the only job she could find in America.
But “servant??? is the greatest title anyone can receive!? Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection could all be summed up in one word: “Servant.???? The way Christ showed His love and compassion was by humbling Himself.? He served His heavenly Father and those around Him.
Dear one, the world has plenty of highly paid executives. But what God wants is more servants and that includes you!? Follow Jesus’ example.? Just as Dorothy discovered, being a servant for God comes with eternal benefits!
