“If your fellow Hebrew, a man or woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, you must set him free in the seventh year.

It serves as fuel for man.He takes some of it and warms himself;also he kindles a fire and bakes bread;he even makes it into a god and worships it;he makes an idol from it and bows down to it.

“They will be Mine,” says the Lord of Hosts, “a special possession on the day I am preparing. I will have compassion on them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.

So you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves.

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me. Where I am, there My servant also will be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

Whoever serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by men.

If anyone speaks, it should be as one who speaks God’s words; if anyone serves, it should be from the strength God provides, so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ in everything. To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
