Serve The Lord Christ

"Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ."  Colossians 3:24.  Jesus is Lord and Christ by means of His resurrection from the dead.  Acts 2:36.  Jesus reigns at the right hand of God.  I Peter 3:22.  What a privilege to serve Him.  Jesus has called us to service.  We serve by example and command.  "Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.  If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye ought also to wash one another's feet.  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."  John 13:13-15.  Because Jesus served His Father, He was received up into glory.  Through our service to Jesus as our Lord, we will receive the inheritance.  As servants, we are heirs.
