Live Now, Jesus Did...........

Whether you believe it or not your here on assignment.You assignment is based in serving.The more we fight against this purpose the more we struggle in life."I want this,I want that has sent many of us spiraling on a downward journey for years. Jesus came to serve not to be serve.In the Book of Acts,Acts 3:13 its says,"¹³The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified His Servant and ^[c]Son Jesus [doing Him this honor], Whom you indeed delivered up and denied and rejected and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to let Him go.

Webster’s Dictionary defines "servant" as: "one that serves others , a public servant; especially, one that performs duties about the person or home of a master or personal employer".

Let’s notice the servant aspect of "Jesus as a servant" in the first chapter of Mark: "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. {2} As it is written in the Prophets: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You"" (Mark 1:1-2 NKJV).

Notice that God is sending His Son as a messenger with a job to do.Verse 10: "And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove"This was at the end of John’s ministry and the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. Notice how a servant is busy and constantly on the move.

A real servant does not waste time thinking about the glory of his accomplishments, he has more work to do.He recognizes the work and the mission is far more important and bigger than him or herself.

Remember that a "servant" does his work and his tasks "immediately".

Jesus came to serve rather than to be served. He served by preaching the gospel and then giving His life as a ransom for many. Keep the point that "Jesus is a servant" and remember to be like Jesus is to become a servant willing to reduce what you want and replace that with what can I do to add to the kingdom of God.

The purpose of Jesus coming to earth was to become flesh and dwell or tabernacle with man (John 1:14). He was to remain busy in preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. "Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, {15} and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel"" (Mark 1:14-15 NKJV).

Live Now, the way Jesus has led by example the way we should live, in the service of serving others.
