       So, Jesus says that the one who is a servant is the one who is a slave. Now, obviously, a slave virtually had no say in what he was doing when he was working. He did whatever his master told him to do. That’s the true attitude of a servant. Paul told slaves in his day to work heartily. Remember what he said: “Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:22-24, ESV). Rewards that we will receive in the future when we go to Heaven are further motivation for us to succeed and do a good job. Jesus himself obviously gave us the perfect example of one who served, and then who suffered greatly in his execution on our behalf.
