The Lowly Servant

It would be quite a leader who would give up his command and birthright to go down and fight with his troops on the messy, bloody battlefield. Even greater would be the President or leader who not only became a lowly soldier, but who then agreed to die for his men so that they might live. We would truly remember him always. In Christ, we see this fulfilment has already come to pass. God became man to die for us, that we might have a chance at eternal life. "There is no greater love that a man has than to lay down his life for his friends." It is not only humbling that the Father of the universe did this willingly out of love, but that once He took it upon Himself to call us friends. Peace be with you always.
