The Privilege of Servanthood – Paul M. Williams

Luke 22:24-27 The world today would tell us, that it is the lesser who serves the greater.  Jesus takes the economy of the world and flips it on its head by saying, "For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth" (Lk. 22:27).  Have you a servant's heart?  Have you a heart to serve?  Do you count it a privilege to serve others, or is the privilege the other way around, when others serve you?  When there is a need in front of you, what's your response? Someone else will sort it, or do you count it your responsibility and privilege to try to meet that need?  I see many within the Body of Christ at large clamouring for positions and gifts, but what for, if they have not first learnt the rudimentary ABCs of Christian service?  Position in the Church is NOT for honour, but for SERVICE!!!
