A devotion by Charles Stanley. It is a portion of what has touched my heart. The entire devotional may be found at Charles Stanley Daily Devotional In the world’s 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’ 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! He paid the price for us so that we may live and receive the gift of grace.
Jesus served the Father’s 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.
We dont need to hold ourselves back from being a servant of the Lord!!! I think sometimes from our own insecurities we do. Yet, our Father held nothing of himself back. We need to lean on the one who gave up His righteousness to carry our weight. He will lead and direct us. So as I go into the New Year I pray about the path the Lord wants me to serve in.
