Luke 22:
Isaiah 42
One of the greatest paradoxes of Jesus’ teaching is that He completely turns around our understanding of servanthood and greatness!
I mean, think about in our world - our context - those who are “great” whether it be the president or a CEO or a celebrity - someone with a lot of prestige and power - they typically have people do things for them - serve them.
In Jesus’s culture, servanthood was about as low as one could get.
Sanders points out several principles from Jesus’s life and model of servanthood that we need to learn from.
Dependence
Philippians 2:5-8
He emptied himself - not of power or divinity but of self-will & self-sufficiency.
“The HS will be able to use us to the measure that we adopt the same attitude.
The danger is in our being too independent.”
Adrian Rogers - Commitment vs. Surrender - Commitment - I’m in control.
Acceptance
A life pleasing to the Lord - a pleasing aroma...
Ephesians 5:
Self-Effacement
I
He will not be loud & screamy…not strident or flamboyant but modest & self-effacing.
Humility - not for show/self.
Not serving in a way that attracts attention.
Empathy
Read page 60…Jesus was drawn to the weak.
Optimism
Not disheartened/pessimistic/crushed…the key here is HOPE...”The implication is that though God’s servant engages in a gracious ministry to bruised reeds & smoking wicks, He is neither one nor the other.
Anointing
Again, we can’t do any of this/live any of this apart from the HS!
I think “ANOINTING” has been really misunderstood - explain…the same spirit that Jesus was filled with is the same spirit who is available to us!
