Everyone who believes the Word of God, ministering through the anointing of the Holy Spirit as a channel of His marvelous works, is under Christ's authority with no reason to consider him or herself higher than the Son of God and Redeemer of humankind who has favored us with edifying positions for the advancement of His glorious Kingdom (Matt. 10:24, Phil. 2:6-8). Christians are called, not to be served but to serve; even when assigned to positions of power and authority on Earth, they should be received as an opportunity to serve so that we may be gracefully honored and accepted by our Heavenly Father on the Last Day, as a reward for our faithful service (John 12:26, Rev. 22:12).
Also, we should realize that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ was persecuted and died for our sakes while serving the Father, showing His love of God and towards mankind. So, as we continue in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, walk in His Way, and abide by His teachings, we may be challenged as His ambassadors, for His namesake, because some are not willing to receive YHWH for who He says He Is by many messengers, even after hearing the Truth who came down to their level, yet find fleeting comfort in the lustful pleasures of the World (John 1:11-12, 15:20-21).
PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father, for keeping me humbled to serve under the authority of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord and Savior for it's from Him I derive joy serving in Your Vineyard. Please, keep me motivated and focused, living for Your glory, even as You strengthen me to be an Overcomer in Christ Jesus,
Amen.
From John 13:16
