Editor's Notes
Jesus came to cleanse us so that we can be righteous and have relationship with God. Do you know what he has done to you, that he has cleansed you?
But He did not only clean us but also sent us to share this cleansing with the world through loving servanthood.
Joh 13:16 NASB "Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.
The world sets it self up through a hierarchy of comparison. Everyone places themselves below some but above others, they rule over those lower than them and acquiesce to those above them. Believers only have one to compare themselves to and that is Jesus, what He did and was became our standard. If he served others than we will think ourselves better than Him if we refuse to serve.
Remember the old story of the man that went on a cruise but only survived on cheese and crackers because he did not know all the meals were included.
