The Servant's Profile

Image via Wikipedia

1. A Servant is a Giver - because the Christian servant reflects God who is the greatest giver ever, no one can out do Him in giving.

As His servant we give our time and other resources and make ourselves available for the purpose of the Kingdom.

2. A Servant is a Forgiver - an outstanding Old Testament example of forgiveness is Joseph. In the New Testament we have our Lord Jesus Himself.

As God's servant, we should forgive and also forget; hatred has no place except hatred of sin.

3. A Servant Endures - in the midst of trial and suffering, the Christian servant's trust and hope in God do not weaken.

 

Job, Joseph, the Psalmist and so many others show us the way. When all is not going too well, we must learn to wait upon the Lord.
