Les Mitchell- Servanthood In The Kingdom

Les Mitchell shares about servanthood in the Kingdom of God.  He reminds us of how when he first met Jesus, we also started loving people for the first time in our lives and no act of service was too much trouble.  However, as our ‘first love’ fades, so does our focus change back to ourselves. We start resenting every demand on our time or resources or skills - we need to stop & realise that our eyes are no longer fixed on Jesus who said that He came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for mankind. We look at Phil. 2:5-9 - a description of Jesus' life of humility in even obeying his parents who He had actually created!  He never pulled rank or lorded it over anyone even though He was God. Paul says “in your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus”.
