Spiritual Growth
Part VII
“Becoming Servants of Christ”
John 13:1-20
1. What do you consider your personal identity?
What do you think of first when you think about who you are when you introduce yourself to someone else?
2. Jesus the suffering servant.
Matthew 12:17-21
Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
. . . In him will the gentiles hope.
3. Jesus served His Father’s will.
Jesus said this to his disciples when in Samaria.
John 4:34
“My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.”
4. He came not to do his own will but the will of Him who sent Him.
John 6:35-40
For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day
5. Jesus the King who came to serve.
Mark 10:35-45
“But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
6. Jesus washed the feet of all like a slave.
John 13:1-11
Jesus made an object lesson of himself to do the work of a slave when no one else volunteered for the menial job.
7. Jesus was both Teacher and Lord but he served all.
John 13:12-20
You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
8. Learning to be servants of Christ.
1 Corinthians 4:1-6
For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
9. Learning to Love and Serve Christ.
What is God doing in your life?
How are you seeing his hand on your life?
How are you serving your Lord?
10. Marks of the true Christian
Romans 12:3-8
Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
Conclusions:
Jesus came into this world as a servant to do the will of his Father who sent Him.
Jesus is the suffering servant of Isaiah: the Lamb of God.
He came not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.
Conclusions:
All of Christs’ followers are called to also serve.
Our identity should be as servants of Jesus and God the Father.
We are to serve him in all we do, as we serve one another.
