Serving All Men for His Sake

Matthew 20:28

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.

The Son of God, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords came to earth as the Son of Man.  He gave up all of His royal rights to become a servant of every man.  His servanthood was so complete that He gave up His own life and He separated Himself from the Father in order to take on all of our sins so that we might have life with the Father.

Once we claim our eternal inheritance as children of God, we accept that which we do not deserve and could not possibly earn except through the grace and mercy of Our Savior.  When we recognize that Jesus Christ served us to the end of our meanness, our selfishness and our sin, we should exhaust ourselves serving all men for His sake.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we come before You to proclaim how unworthy we are of all that You have bestowed on us through Your Son, Jesus.  We do not deserve the inheritance that You have set aside.  We could never earn what You have provided.  Fill us with the power of Your Holy Spirit so that we may pour ourselves to all men.  We rejoice in knowing that we will be in Your service for all eternity.
