Servant Series Pt. 1

What Does It Mean To Be A Servant?

Philippians 2:6–8 “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”

A servant is humble and obedient to God

Matthew 20:26–28 “But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

A Servant ministers to others regardless of their status in life

John 13:5 “After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.”

A servant gladly preforms tasks that others cansider beneath them, and doesn’t even wait to be asked

Romans 6:13 “Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.”

True servants use all their energy and talents for the benefit of God and others.
