SERVANT OF ALL

DAILY GRACE MON. 30TH JAN, 2017 SERVANT OF ALL MARK 9: 34 This week shall be fruitful and blissful for you in the name of Jesus Christ. " And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." They were willing to cover the fault displayed in the preceeding verse, they held their peace. As they would not ask, because they were ashamed to own their ignorance, so here they would not answer because they were ashamed to own their pride. And Jesus was willing to amend this fault in them, and to bring them to a better temper and posture. And hence sat down, that He might have a solemn and full discussion with them about this very important matter. He then called the twelve to Himself, and told them the followings as enshrined in the Scripture above:  [1.] That ambition and affectation of dignity and dominion, instead of gaining them preferment in His kingdom, would but postpone their preferment, and If any man so desire and aim to be first, he shall be last, he that exalted himself, shall be abased, and men’s pride shall bring them low. [2.] That there is no preferment to be had under Him, but an opportunity for service, and an obligation to engage in much labour and condescension; If any man desires♈ to be first, when he is so, he must be much the more busy and serviceable to everybody. He that desires the office of a bishop, desires a good work, for he must labour the more diligently, abundantly, and make himself the servant of all. [3.] That those who are most humble and self-denying must resemble Christ, and shall be most tenderly owned by Him. Friend, those of a humble, meek, mild disposition are such that Christ will own and encourage to be the servant of all. You need the servant heart in order to be a able to be the servant of all. Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Father, grant me servant heart for a rewarding service in Jesus' name. Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
