WHY WAS JESUS A SERVANT?

"Guess who will live there--the proud owners of the land?

No, the servants will get it--the lovers of His name will live in it"

Psalm 69:36

(message)

I was reading my Bible in Psalms and a passage stirred my thoughts as to why Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord Almighty, was the biggest servant ever.

Jesus was the ultimate servant.

He was a servant because as Psalm 69:43 says, the servants will inherit GOD's Kingdom.

If Jesus was not a servant he would not have been able to inherit the Kindgdom of GOD!

and...

because Jesus was the perfect, ultimate servant he inherited it all; and now he hands it down to all the servants who follow.

Therefore if we want to inherit GOD's Kingdom,

WE MUST SERVE as Jesus did!!!

(I feel that this is only one of the reasons why Jesus modeled servanthood to us. The connection of Jesus being a servant and God wanting us to be servants too, is as deep as the ocean)
