Called to serve one another; to serve the church, family, friends, local community & nation.
Galatians 5:13-14 Serve one another.
“Fulfilled” doesn’t mean done away, but rather to bring to full capacity. Proof is Matthew 5:17
Luke 14:7-15 desiring the chief seats, compare with serving people in Matthew 25:31-46 Serving people in prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, etc.
People want to do “Great Things” for God. But they need to realize that mopping, sweeping, taking the trash out, washing dishes, etc. are very important and fundamental. We have to learn to serve 1st before doing the larger things.
Jeremiah and Samuel both served in the temple as assistants, long before being given the top administrative responsibilities.
Philippians 2:1-30 Jesus, Paul & Timothy also came as servants.
:25 MESSENGER = APOSTLE (Traditionally translated wrong to hide the continual progression of appointing new apostles for the continution of the church administration.)
