James 5:16NIV2011
- Opening Illustration2 Corinthians 11:23–27 “Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labours, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.”I’ll serve when I’m happyLuke 17:7–10 ““Will any one of you who has a servant ploughing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at the table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’ ””Unlike the modern connotation of a hired worker, Doulos implied a state of complete dependence and submission to the master, often involving lifelong service or service until a master chose to grant freedom.Philippians 2:3–4 “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”A Biblical PatternJosephGenesis 40:7 “So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, “Why are your faces downcast today?””AbrahamRuthJesusThe Blessing of Serving while HurtingFreedom from PainA Pathway to God’s BlessingJob 42:10 “And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends.
