Elevated To Service

Matthew 20:27 "And whosoever will be chief among you,let him be your servant".

Unlike that of the world, in God's kingdom those who are elevated are not lifted up to be served, but they are elevated to serve.Jesus left His holy place in Heaven to come down to earth to serve sinful man.And we who have been called to be servants of the Lord.

In this world of the self claimed and self famed religious culture, there seems to be a misconception as to the duty and responsibility of those God has called into service.Many are under the impression that they were called to be important, to be served and in some cases to be worshiped.But the truth is the head must be willing to care for the feet.The higher up you go in God's kingdom the greater the servant you are to become.Jesus ,the Son of the living God humbled Himself to to point of dying at the hands of those he came to save.We too are to be willing to lay down our life(not physically) to save the lost.See it is not about us, our positions,titles, or even the fact that we are saved,it is solely about How Jesus the Christ died on a cross and rose the third day morning to save lost man.Our life should be one that will elevates the power of the Saviour and not our position or salvation.

In our text Jesus tells the disciples whoever it is that wants to be the greatest, let him also be the servant to the rest.Let him minister to the needs of the others,let him help bear the burdens of the lame and weak of the flock and let him make sure he feeds the lambs of God.
