The Lavish Living of Slaves of Christ

We can give no higher praise to God than to profess and live in such a way that everything we do points to Jesus' rule over our lives. Our fellowship with Christ is a fellowship between joyful slave and loving Master--and His yoke is easy and His burden light (Matt. 11:30). He is no cruel ruler; He is the kind of ruler or master who lays down His life for His people. What lavish living for a slave!
