DO AS I HAVE DONE FOR YOU
Biblical Passages to Read:
Ezekiel 47 & John 13: 1 – 17
The passage from Ezekiel reminds us of the importance of going where it is that God wants to take us. For us all that means bowing before our Master, our God, recognising that He is bigger and greater than us – He is awesome, He is God Almighty, and we are His. He has set the example for us in everyway, and we are called to be like Jesus.
Servant Ministry is reflected in the whole ministry of Jesus. He said that He had come not be to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. We are called to, to serve God, to serve His people. To be a minister to God and a minister to His People. In order to do that, we need to bow before God and confess He is our God, and that we follow no other.
Obedience to our Master is essential. We should do what He did and does. The Scriptures outline very clearly the servant nature and ministry of Jesus. The life of Jesus is something we reflect in everything we do and say. We bear His Name if we say we are Christians. Being willing to bow before Him is an important essential when it comes to going deeper with God. Until then, we stay in that place where we go round and round in circles, and more often than not…end up going nowhere.
Spend some time considering who it is that you are bowing the knee before; who it is that you say is your god, and whether at times it might be our own desires and purposes that we want to fulfil instead of His.
