Jesus, You are a SERVANT.  The Ultimate SERVANT.  As I look at these definitions - they are all actions.  Actions of serving.  Help, wait on, set out, comply with, gratify, perform for, present, provide, furnish, supply, answer, suffice, contribute, provide.....all actions of serving.   You did not come to BE served - but to SERVE.  You were the greatest example of SERVANTHOOD  this world has ever known.  But, You didn't only do these things - you did more.  You GAVE Your life as a ransom.  The ultimate act of service.  You laid down Your life for me.  You gave Your life on the cross as a ransom for all those who would accept Your payment for their sins.  This is why You came.  You did not come to be an earthly King or to be a celebrity.  You did not come to be highly esteemed among men.  You came to SERVE by giving Your life as a ransom - for me.  How can this be?  Oh Jesus, I worship You for leaving the beauty of heaven to come to this earth - with all of it's pain and sorrow -  to GIVE Your life as a lowly SERVANT and as a ransom payment for me.   You are the ultimate SERVANT!!

(How can you worship Him today for GIVING His life as a ransom for you? Worship and thank Him for being your SERVANT!)#100dayswithjesu
