Christ The Girded Servant

In the Upper Room – Past

John 13:4

rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.

Mark 14:13-17

And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.”

   So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

   In the evening He came with the twelve. Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me will betray Me.”

In the Midst of the Churches – Present

Revelation 1:13

and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His

In the coming Glory – Future

Luke 12:37

Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.

Titus 2:2

“Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.”

Worthy of respect! What a goal for our lives whether we are men or women! Don't you want your life to reflect the character of God because our faith expresses itself in a life of self-control and godliness? This work of the Spirit in our lives happens only as we dedicate ourselves to being what he is at work trying to accomplish in us.
