Bible Question: In ACTS 4:27, Jesus is mentioned as a Holy servent of God by the disciples. why is it so?? Is it because the early disciples did not know about the divinity and true nature of our Lord.Please help with an convincing answer. |
Bible Answer: If I may be permitted to add to Ray's excellent answer: Please look closely at Philippians 2:5-11. The key here is verse 8. Christ serves the Father and is obedient His will. The Lord Jesus Christ, is spoken of in OT prophecy as "the suffering servant." The Lord Jesus showed the example of being a servant when He washed the disciples feet (John 13). He carefully instructed them that the greatest in the kingdom of God was servant of all (Mark 10:44). Christ served every one of His elect by His obedience to God, bringing them to into righteousness (Romans 5:19). |
