Isaiah 35:9

JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY - GIVING UP RIGHTS

Matthew 20:28 “Just as the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many

Jesus out of love, came to earth as a servant, giving up his rights

Jesus left the secure loving relationship with His Father in heaven and came to earth as a servant :- Phil 2:6 “ Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing taking the very nature of a servant” Luke 22:77 “ I am among you as one who serves” Matthew 20:28 “ Just as the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many”

Jesus came to do the will of Father

Jesus came to do the will of the Father, to establish the kingdom of God. We have been given free wills to choose to submit to God and his will. Are there any areas in our lives where God cannot get his will done because we are holding on to rights ?Are you prepared to follow Jesus and out of love give up your rights so that you might do the will of the Father ?

Have you given up your rights?

The right to your future The right to marriage The right to money The right to education The right to success The right to health The right to freedom The right to your own culture The right to your own class and background The right to your family and friends The right to a good reputation The right to have a ministry

Have you given up these rights ? Are you available to go wherever God calls ? Is God able to accomplish his will though you ? As you give up these rights, so you will press on to take hold of that for which Christ first took hold of you.


• Lord I am available to do your will. Show me where there are rights I am not relinquishing. I yield my life afresh to you
