SERVANTS ARE NOT GREATER THAN THEIR MASTER

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 15:20 KJV” Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”

According to the Lord Jesus, no servant is greater than his master. Every servant is to walk in the path of his or her master. The servant must be a student of his master and must do the things he did. The Lord added that if we tread on his pathway of life, then the world will treat us as it treated him. Some accepted his message, but the leadership of the region attacked Him consistently throughout His ministry days. They kept looking for areas to accuse and condemn Him. They never came to his meetings to learn anything, but to find faults.

Dear servant of Christ, if you take the path of Jesus, you would experience what He experienced. You would have miracles following you. You would have multitudes following you and the world would come at you. In Jesus’ day, it was the religious leaders who were at the throat of the master. In this era too it is the very people who are supposed to be Christians who attack the men of God with a miracle ministry. Any Christian who will set himself apart unto the Lord, and do the things Jesus did, would surely have the miracle attestation as Jesus had. Be certain in your mind that men would come at you. They would accuse you of using demons, faking miracles, and if it is possible physically attacking you.

You must arm yourself with this understanding, lest you would crumble under the barrage of opposition that may be coming at you. Heb 12:3 KJV” For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.:” This immediate verse advises us to consider Jesus, who was opposed from birth, till they finally crucified Him on the cross. You should not grow weary in your mind if you are also opposed in such a manner. The Lord focused on His mission and kept at it. He never tried to defend himself. The Bible said The Lord because of the Joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despised the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Turn your eyes away from what men would be saying and focus on the final glory to be revealed.

THOUGHT: IN SPITE OF THE HUMAN OPPOSITIONS, THERE IS A CERTAIN GLORY TO BE REVEALED.
