Servants of God

As servants of God, we are to follow the example of Christ. Peter speaks of this as a calling, stating: “For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.” (1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭21‬ ‭NRSV‬‬).
 
Below are some quotes from John Ortberg, in his book The Life You've Always Wanted: Spiritual Disciplines For Ordinary People. (2009).
 
“When Jesus came in the form of a servant, he was not disguising who God is. He was revealing who God is” (2009:115).
 
“That is the kind of servanthood Jesus calls us to—a society of sinners helping each other” (2009:117).
 
Read our Lectionary Reading from the New Testament for this week, April 30th, from 1 Peter 2:19-25, and see the calling to suffer for Christ. The question now is “Are you following the example of Christ?” May the Lord lead you in his path.
