JESUS SENT AS GOD'S SERVANT

in #sc-v5 years ago

When God sent his Son to earth to be our savior, He was sent as God's servant.

The prophet Isaiah writes about this: “Behold my servant, I will sustain him; my chosen one, in whom my soul is content. ”Isaiah 42: 1.

By serving his Father, Jesus also became our servant. One might believe that he who sent God to be our savior, redeemer and king even in the smallest would come in heavenly splendor, so that the world immediately understood who He was and why He came. The Bible, on the other hand, says: "But he stripped himself, taking the form of a servant, made like men." Philippians 2: 7.

Human nature is essentially selfish, and we are inclined to believe that if others serve us and treat us well, then we are happy. True happiness is something much deeper than this! Jesus says: "But I am among you as he who serves." Luke 22:27. He knew this very well and clearly demonstrated it through his example. He also says about himself: "As the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mateos 20:28.

Jesus did not serve others in order to be honest, but because he loved them. In fact, He chose to serve those who could not give him anything in return. Little children, lame and blind, lepers and those who were despised by society, who could come to Jesus and find comfort and healing. Jesus served them because He loved them, not because they deserved it! It is not right to do good to those we believe deserve it, Jesus loved justice and hate injustice, and that is why God anointed him with oil of joy more than his companions. (Hebrews 1: 9) In other words, He has been the happiest person who has walked on the face of the earth!

Now it's our turn! We have the possibility of following Jesus' footsteps and serving others in love. (Galatians 5: 13-14) If we love and serve God, then He will also show us the best way to serve our neighbors!
