A person should think of us in this way:
as servants of Christ
and managers
of the mysteries
of God.
1 Corinthians 4:1 CSB
"Hi,
My name is Paul"
"Hi Paul,
What do you do?"
"Well, a couple of things, I'm a servant of Jesus, and a manager of the mysteries of God *smiles*
What do you do?"
I have no idea how someone manages the mysteries of God.
And even how to be a servant of the one who came to serve?
I guess it means that his work is to do the things that Jesus would have him do.
There used to be a big thing about WWJD? "what would Jesus do?"
Some one tweaked that to ask "what would Jesus do if he was you, born in your time, with your experiences?"
What does being a servant of Jesus look like for you?
In your world?
With your limits?
With your gifts and skills and talents and desires?
With your responsibilities?
With the things that weigh on you?
With the things that bring you joy?
Maybe being a servant of Jesus is a heart thing...at least it starts there right?
Then move on to managing the mysteries of God :)
