In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley. The Pattern for Servanthood Matthew 20:25-28 Matthew 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. Matthew 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; Matthew 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. KJV. In the worlds thinking, great men are the ones with authority, prominence, and power. Though Jesus Christ had all that, He gave it up to become a servant (Isa. 42:1). Jesus gave Himself completely to fulfill the Fathers plan of redemption, even though the beneficiaries—namely, each of us—were undeserving. God is holy and righteous, and He cannot be in the presence of sin. Therefore, He must separate Himself from those who are stained by wrongdoing. That includes all of humanity (Rom. 3:23). Everybody is born captive to the desires of the flesh (Rom. 6:16-18). When someone claims to be living on his own terms, he is actually serving whatever his human nature craves. The penalty for that false sense of liberty is death (Rom. 6:23). Jesus ultimate act of service was to give His life as a ransom for many (Matt. 20:28). The word describes the price paid to set a slave free—Christ voluntarily purchased our liberation. There was only one way our holy God could remove our guilt yet remain true to His own law: Someone sinless had to pay our sin debt for us. Jesus sacrifice spared us the penalty we deserve. Instead, we receive the gift of grace and have been declared no longer guilty. Moreover, we are elevated from slaves to sons and daughters of the Almighty! Jesus served the Fathers purpose faithfully. He gave up His righteousness to carry the weight of all our wickedness—and endured a crushing separation from His Father. To meet our needs, the Savior held nothing of Himself back, and thereby set a powerful example of servanthood for us follow. ============================================ 2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 2 Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. ==================================== YOUR CHURCH follow - {Doctrine} - given to Israel today??? {NO} - We follow {Doctrine} - today - given to Paul from the risen Lord. THE CHURCH DOCTRINE FOR TODAY IS ROMANS THROUGH PHILEMON. Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.) NOT all scripture is Doctrine for the Body of Christ. === TIME PAST = Genesis through Acts of the Apostles Doctrine or teaching to Israel. NOT YOUR DOCTRINE. See. Matt. 10:5-6, Matt 15:24, Acts 11:19 K J V. Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; KJV. === THE BUT NOW =THE CHURCH DOCTRINE OF APOSTLE PAUL.OR TEACHINS. Romans Through Philemon. NOT ACTS. See. Eph. 2:11-19 K J V. Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. === AGES TO COME Doctrine starts the day of the Rapture. AGES TO COME = Hebrews through Revelation Doctrine or teaching = Jacobs Trouble = Israel and the 1,000 year reign of Christ and beyond. Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. KJV. Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: ==================== In Christ alone OUR hope is found. WE stand in the power of His resurrection. WE are sealed unto the day of redemption. WE cant be plucked out of His hands. WE have no fear in death. OUR passport has been stamped with a heaven bound seal made with His blood. =========== Inspired words from Paul - Paul said--->The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in (every epistle:) so I write. 2 Thessalonians 3:17...Again, Paul said, in (EVERY EPISTLE) so I write. ... There is NO salutation of Paul in the BOOK of Hebrews. Paul wrote 13 Books, Romans through Philemon. --------------------------------------- E. C.
