The Service of The Father.

The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, giving His life as a ransom for many.

The Son took the form of a servant, and desires to serve us, washing the diciples feet so that they may have a portion in HIm (John 13), He desires to cleanse us, washing us with His word and love. HIs service extends to even giving His own life for us to save us.

He who has seen the Son has seen the Father.

How much in greater measure, does the Father, who did not spare His Son, want to serve us, to give Himself to us. This is the amazing thought: He wants to give Himself! As He gave the Son so freely. He wants to meet our needs. He Himself!

The greatest gift any earthly father can give to his child is not his gifts per say, but himself, his embrace, he Himself as strength and encouragement, as power, as comfort. The Father wants to give Himself. Think about that.

As a little child do i come to you, Father, weak and poor, receiving all from You.
