The Privilege of Service

In Revelation 1 we read of a revelation of Christ which was received by the Apostle John. John saw Christ in all His manifest power and glory.

In response, John did what anybody else would have done who saw Christ in His glory – John fell at Christ’s feet like a dead man. He was completely overwhelmed.

Christ then gently touched John and told Him not to be afraid. What a wonderful reassurance John received from the Lord.

Along with the reassurance, though, came a responsibility. John was told to write what he had seen and the rest of the Book of Revelation. When we respond to Christ with reverence, we receive not only reassurance but He gives us responsibilities to serve Him.

And if you and I see Christ in His glory, we realize that serving Him is a get to not a got to. It is a privilege to serve Christ.

Join us this Sunday as we serve the Lord and go online to believers-fellowship.org.

"Get to not a got to" -- one of the most well known Blakey phrase. And it IS an indescrible privilege to serve Christ!!! So glad we are serving Him side by side again, too! :)
