Servant of the Master #2119

Servant of the Master Remember, O servant, you are not greater, Than the Master, the Savior, the Way, In His steps, you'll tread paths of sorrow, As He walked them, so shall you, today. They scorned Him without reason, in hatred, Fulfilled in their law, the unjust, No cause, yet their hearts burned with malice, Against Love, they placed their distrust. When the world shows its cruel disdain, Recall the words of the One who bore, The cross, with love unending, For the lost, the broken, the poor. If they mocked Him, the sinless, the pure, How much more will they scorn you and me? But take heart, for in this suffering, We are blessed with His grace, fully free. A servant is not above the Master, Yet in His shadow, we find our peace, For in His name, though hated, we're chosen, And in His truth, our souls find release. So stand firm in His promise, dear servant, In the trials, let your faith remain, For in His love, you're eternally anchored, And with Him, forever, you'll reign. -Steven G. Lee (July 1, 2024)
