When God Serves Us

Send us Fan Mail60 Seconds of Hope: When God Serves Us Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them.- Luke 12:37In the ancient world, a common metaphor used to describe the relationship between God and humanity was that of master and slaves. By the time the gospels were written, that understanding was completely transformed. In what scholars believe is the newest gospel in the Bible, John quotes Jesus as saying that I no longer call you servants, but friends. Here in Luke, Jesus describes a master having his slaves sit down to eat while he himself serves them- all because he was pleased to find them faithful and alert. In the scriptures, our love for God is not a one way street. There is a mutuality to our relationship. God loves us, and we love God. God is faithful to us and we are faithful to God. God serves us and we serve God. God need only find us faithful and alert, attuned to God’s presence. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
