| Service |
| “If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be” (John 12:26). |
| Service for the Lord requires obedience and dedication. |
| • First, obedience in worship. We must follow the Lord to the place of worship chosen by Him. |
| “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him” (John 4:23). |
| • Second, obedience in conduct. We need to act just like the Lord did when He was here. |
| “For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you” (John 13:15). |
| “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps” (1 Peter 2:21). |
| • Thirdly, service may require that we lay down our lives. We must be willing to give up EVERYTHING for Him — even our life. |
| “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life” (Revelation 2:10). |
| That’s true service. |
