Obedient Servants Of Christ Are Blessed

"I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him, Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them." (John 13:16-17)

Robert Coleman wrote, "Just as Jesus found blessedness in doing the Father's will, even so his followers would find theirs. This is the sole duty of a servant. It was true of Christ, and nothing less can ever be accepted as worthy of his disciple."

We must fully surrender to the will of our Lord! Once again Coleman explains, "unless there is this dedication to all we know he wants us to do now, however, immature our understanding may be, it is doubtful if we will ever progress further in his life and mission."

Wow! What sobering words! May we fully surrender to the person and work of our Lord!

Prayer: "Lord Jesus, I surrender all to you! Help me obey all I know of your will. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Blessings!
