Sweet Jesus Servant King

Luke 19:10  For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Phil.2:1-11 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry 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. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Everytime I read Your word, I stand amazed. I am so unworthy of the gift of Your son and Your word!
How humbling is this Man who gave His life for so many? Can we even grasp the debt we owe Him?
Father God, You and Your Son are so far beyond our comprehension! Give us the faith we need to trust and obey You. Amen
