“As long as it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent me.

Night is coming when no one can work.”

John 9:4

 

 

Jesus is the Son of God.

He was fully man and fully God as He walked on the earth.

He said in the Garden:

“Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and He will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels.”  Matthew 26:53

And it is said of Him in Philippians 2:6-7

“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.”

What a contrast!

We are the sons of God.

We too are called to be servants.

Just as Jesus got down on his knees and washed His disciples feet; we are called to be those who humble ourselves before Him in service to others.

A son of God, a servant of God, will engage the plans of God wherever God presents them and however He presents them.

Too often, we in the church are only willing to engage if our hands can stay clean.

Like the couple who live together without getting married we want all of the benefits without any of the commitment.

God bless ME, just don’t ask me to do anything that might inconvenience me.

Jesus could ask in return:

Like taking up your cross, you mean?

I don’t want to “guilt” anyone into service but I do want us to understand that the time is short and God is calling all of us to be engaged in His plans.

It is His mercy and His love that calls us because His desire is that we are found faithful and working at His return.

Look around you because the opportunities are there.

If you are having trouble seeing them, ask God to open your eyes.

He came as a servant and He calls you to service for Him.
