Servants

 Bless Father for His Word of life that WE ARE!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to SHEW UNTO HIS SERVANTS things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: ... Revelation 1:1

As I read that the word 'servants' came to hEARt. So I looked up its meaning in Greek.

I found 'servants' = a slave.

Now the word slave shows someone that is bound or restricted, whether it is voluntarily or involuntarily. It never shows one who works for hire!!!!!!

This verse came to hEARt--->But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. John 10:11-14

Most so called pastors are just a 'hireling.'

See a hireling IS NOT A SLAVE nor can they be unless they are called by Him!

Back to "SHEW UNTO HIS SERVANTS."

The death of Jesus the Christ was so all the living ones should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died AS them.

They who live for themselves are but servants to SIN! (Rom 6:16)

They who hEAR Father's Word of life are they who become ONE with Him.

Now let us look at what they become ONE with--->Let this mind be IN you, which was also IN Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But MADE himself of NO REPUTATION, and took upon him the FORM of a SERVANT (slave), and was made IN the likeness of men: .... Phil 2:5-11

Bless Father, for Jesus the Christ showed all how to be a slave for He was the perfect example for our teaching! For a true slave lays down all self importance and recognition!!!!

By that I mean Jesus the Christ surrendered without reservation to his Father’s will!

Let me tell you that if you are not one of his slaves, the secrets contained in the book of Revelations is NOT yours to understand.
