Be Like Jesus - Servitude

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!            -Philippians 2:5-8

Jesus is the son of God, but his goal was not equality with God. Jesus' goal was to be a servant, the lowest of low.

The Adventist church is big on being like Jesus, but what's your idea of being like Jesus? Does it include being a servant? Does it include dieing? Jesus humbled himself so far as to become obedient to death (we know through the Word that God controls death so Jesus was ultimately obedient to his Father)

So we can see that being like Jesus includes a little more than door-to-door handouts and weekly Bible studies. Being like Jesus means dieing to yourself, allowing God to fully occupy you, being humble and completely obedient, even unto physical death. Being like Jesus means becoming a servant.

Make me a servant, Humble and meek

Lord let me lift up, Those who are week

And may the prayer of my heart always be

Make me a servant, Make me a servant

Make me a servant today..
