The word #master is rarely used today because of its connection to #slavery; however, the word is relevant to our lifestyles. Who or what is your master? Webster’s dictionary defines the word master as one having another subject to his will, direction, and rule. Interesting…..Are you self willed? ….Going where you want as you please?…….Following the latest fade, in-crowd, or ideology? Can you make up your own mind or do you just go with the flow – wherever? God’s word tells us His Master Plan. Interested? Jesus said, “Pray, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven…..for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if your eye be single your whole body shall be full of light, but if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness…..NO ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS: EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE, AND LOVE THE OTHER; OR HE WILL HOLD TO THE ONE, AND DESPISE THE OTHER. YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON.” Matthew 6:9-24 In John 13:11-17 Jesus gives us an example of the true Master. “You are not all clean, so He washed their feet….. and said, Do you realize what I have done to you? YOU CALL ME MASTER AND LORD: AND YOU SAY WELL; FOR SO I AM. If your LORD AND MASTER washed your feet you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you an example….for the servant is not greater than his lord; neither the messenger that is sent greater than he that sent him. If you know these things you will be happy if you do them.” I say, “Choose you this day whom you will serve, but as for me I will serve the LORD.”
THE LIVING GOD IS MASTER
