The Greatest Servant

The biopsy went well yesterday. I awoke with great joy realizing that it was over and I had no pain.  I spoke to the male nurse, thanking him for his service. Service is one of the great spiritual gifts. Jesus commamded his disiples to be servants, as was his example.

Mar 10:42  But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 
Mar 10:43  But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 
Mar 10:44  And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 
Mar 10:45  For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 

It is a great honor to be a servant of  Jesus Christ, for we are more than servants.

John 15:15  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

A friend of Christ comes from serving Jesus, but there is more.

Gal 3:13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 
Gal 3:14  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 
Gal 4:1  Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 
Gal 4:2  But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 
Gal 4:3  Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 
Gal 4:4  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 
Gal 4:5  To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 
Gal 4:6  And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 
Gal 4:7  Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 

Disciples are servants; servant disciples are friends of Jesus, more than this we are adopted sons of God and joint heirs with Jesus. A lot comes from being a servant of Christ. Thank you my Lord and savior and my dearest friend. May I serve you with Joy forever.
