What Kind of Master?
LORD JESUS! You’ve either said these sacred words yourself, or you’ve heard somebody else say them. But have you ever stopped to think: ”Why DO you we call Him ‘Lord’ and then NOT DO what He tells us?” That’s Jesus’s question in Luke 6:46. It’s a legitimate question and it deserves a legitimate answer. This October at RiverTown, we’re going to take some time to get to the bottom of our LORD’S question. “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46 What Kind Of Servant? A BOND SERVANT Says! “It Serves Me To Serve My MASTER.” John 13:12, 13 (Amplified Version) So when He had finished washing their feet and had put on His garments and had sat down again, He said to them, Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call Me the Teacher (Master) and the Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is what I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it] to wash one another’s feet. Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus.
