Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ! That's how he begins his letter to the Philippians and a number of other letters. Much of our time this morning was spent in talking about servanthood. It is a fundamental element in our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Here are some thoughts concerning servanthood.A servant thinks in terms of stewardship and not ownership. A steward is entrusted with the care his master's possessions. They are not his own. Servants should not expect to be treated better than their masters. A servant is always accountable to the master.
It is easy to talk about servanthood, but it is another thing when others treat us like servants.
And we should not think in terms of things only. What about the time given us - 24 hours a day! Surely we are stewards of time and stewards of talents. May God grant us the wisdom and grace to be good servants.
