1- What have we not understood?
Genesis 3
The serpent told him that he would not die when the Lord told him they would die.
Many men have wanted to be like God, example: Greek mythology, emperors, pharaohs, Napoleon wanted to conquer everything ... at some point they came to praise and they boasted.
But the origin is here in a credible lie; even in the church he has infiltrated.
What is it that we have not understood?
What we are criticizing at any moment, that is in us, in our flesh.
But there is a GOOD NEWS in the word.
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted; To proclaim liberty to the captives, and sight to the blind; To set the oppressed free; "
If we have not understood that we are here to serve, then there is a problem.
"Then Jesus, calling them, said: You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. But among you it will not be so, but whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you will be your servant; as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. "
S. Matthew 20: 25-28
We must be a service model.
We must understand that we were not called to be served, but to Serve!
The values of the world are different from those of the church.
"I say, then, by the grace that is given to me, to each one who is among you, that he has no higher self-concept than he should have, but that he thinks of himself with sanity, according to the measure of faith that God distributed to each one. "
Romans 12: 3
That's why we are here!
2- The example we must follow is of Christ
"You call me Teacher, and Lord; and you say well, because I am. For if I, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, so that as I have done to you, you also do. "
S.John 13: 13-15
They did not understand why the Rabi did this ... why the master did this ... because it is a work of a slave.
Let there be in you the same feeling that was in Christ, who, being in the form of God, did not esteem being equal to God as a thing to cling to, but humbled himself by taking the form of a servant.
God did not redeem us to be a lord but to be a servant.
For us to be Light!
For this it is necessary that men and women have understood, because an example was given to us.
"He who says he abides in him must walk as he walked."
1 John 2: 6
