The Servant’s Heart Is The Heart Of God

“Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [the price paid to set them free].” Jesus walked the earth as a servant to mankind. His purpose was to help bring us back to God like in the beginning of time. Being the only begotten Son of God He still humbled Himself even to the point of being crucified on the cross for our mess. Sin had to be removed in order for mankind to reunite with God. So Jesus Himself took our punishment for falling away from God by offering Himself as a living sacrifice having never sinned Himself so justice could be satisfied, thus breaking down the wall between us and God. If this man, the Son of God was a servant, who are we to think more highly of ourselves than we ought to. The higher your position is in life, the more of a servant you should be, especially to those that helped you get there. Once we’ve obtained the humility necessary to help bring others up higher, you will be exalted. Our purpose in life should override our inordinate desires for power. Empty yourself of pride, self-centeredness, or anything else that keeps you from the servants attitude. It is truly better to give than to receive, if you can’t understand that yet, or haven’t experienced it, then you have not discovered humility, and pride may well have the upper hand in your life. A servant’s heart is the heart of God.
