The Form of God's Servant

The Son of God has taken "the form of a servant", and He will never give it up. He willingly, freely, and graciously, "made Himself of no reputation " to serve His Father and to serve us in grace. He took the place in willing love. He was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. He laid aside the form only of Godhead (Godhead He could never lay aside), and so we find Him who is perfect, infinite, and inestimable love. Where would we be if He had not taken the form of a servant? Lost forever.

He has had His ear pierced through with the awl at the doorpost. The Hebrew servant, when he had served seven years, if he said, "I love my master, I love my wife, I love my children, I will not go out free", became a servant forever. His ear, the sign of obedience, was pierced. It is His glory, divine glory and love. Love always delights to serve. He is love, and He delights to serve. To serve us is the reason He had to go so low, and He comes in a love that is above everything that could hinder it. So, "Fear not LITTLE flock", and we won't, IN HIM OUR LOVE.
